    Does anyone know about how much a mechanic would charge to get new balance shaft bearings installed? Buick V6 engine. Cheers.

    You'd be lucky to get it done for under $800 as it isn't an easy job. A lister on this forum removed his balance shaft completely and noticed only a minimal increase in vibrations. He had no more rattles. Try a search.
