Thanks for the replies guys. The previous pulley was wobbling because of the cracked rubber, it was visibly skewed. The new one is straight as an arrow. Good to hear it will fit, too. I appreciate the help, I'll have to keep this forum in mind as this car ends up in my garage pretty often, hah!

I'm working on a '96 Subaru Impreza with the 2.2 EJ22, the rubber on the balancer was cracked and it'd been wobbling so I'm going to replace it as well as doing the timing and water pump. I picked up a decent looking balancer from the junkyard from a '97 outback (I think) with an ej22. These should be the same parts, right? They look very similar however I don't remember the old one having any "holes" on the front face (like these, however this isn't my picture) Unfortunately I don't have the old balancer to compare anymore. basically, will a balancer from a '97 legacy fit a '96 impreza? Any input?
