ok guys, here is another video..

the car was in a front collision, before i bought the car. Went to the dealer, they said it wobbles more than normal, but have to diagnose it and blah blah and might need to change the crank....$$$ big money


here is a video, what do you guys think? if i dont change it what are the long term potential problems? should i just drive the car and when it does replace it with a used engine?

there is no vibration inside the car, no IDRIVE errors or check engine, when i changed the oil...mechanic didnt say or find any metal pieces...runs really smooth all the way to 120mph (never took it faster than that)

yes, it's slightly noticeable, but it may cause no harm.

maybe you can get away with just changing the pulley and dampener, but that won't be cheap.

Well, It's a $500 gamble on whether it works....
