Alright so a few weeks ago I was out playing in my GSX. Suddenely the car lurched and I lost power steering and stuff.

Basically threw my Water Pump/Alternator Belt, and the Power steering belt went as well.

Alright so got that fixed, found another problem, and fixed that as well.

I left tonight to go wash my car because it was dirty as hell. Just as I got into the carwash, it made the same lurch it did before, and I knew that it had just thrown the same belts.

Why is it doing this? I called Dane and he said it had happened to his Galant and it may be a Harmonic Balancer.

Any other ideas? Or is it indeed the Balancer? Thanks for any replies!!
