Anyone experience this?

My WRX has 1200 miles on it. On idle when you pop the hood it looks like the main flywheel (largest one) is kinda wobbly at idling.

Anyone else have this problem? Performance wise the car is great, I've not noticed anything abnormal, etc.

Car is bone stock with the exception of the Intake silencer removed.

thanks.

Do you mean the crank pulley? You won't be able to see the flywheel with your car running.

Crank pulley - circular pulley with a belt running around it.

ah..yes..that thing. Crank pulley. Thanks for the correction. It's the largest wheel where the belt is wound around.

Define wobbly. Can you wiggle it when the engine is off?

Not sure. Haven't tried wiggling it when the engine is off. I'll do that today. When the engine is idling you can look at the wheel and it looks like it's not spinning in a perfect balanced circle.

almost like it's not balanced properly.
