My 2000 ML-320 has 53000 miles on it.

I did a visual inspection of the rubber insert in the balancer and it looks ok, I think, at least no visable cracking on the front edge.

The part number is 112 035 06 00

What do you MB Tech recommend?

Is this a newer version or still of the manufacutring lot that should be replaced.

Also, what is the approximate cost to replace the balancer at an MB Dealership?

Thanks for the advise.

Balancer failed and replaced with 112 035 13 00 at 71,700 miles by local dealer.
Balancer inspected and replaced AGAIN but with 112 035 13 00 05 at 88,279 miles, at the same dealer.
Hope this helps.
