M112, do I need to replace the harmonic balancer - Video inside

Hi Everyone,

Just purchased a 2002 CLk320, it's been pretty neglected but I'm determined to bring it back to it's former glory.

Can you guys have a look at the video bellow and let me know if the harnmonic balancer needs replacing. It's not making any weird noises and nothing is felt in the cabin, but looking at it run, it seems to me it's wobbling.

Thanks heaps everyone, I'm going to leave it alone, it looks pretty normalish and as the person with the bad video showed, it will be very obvious when it's bad. I guess everyone should take from this, if your not sure it's fine, you will tell easily when it's bad.
