Mazda Crank Pulley Issue (wobbling)

[2008wrx]

Has Mazda completely get rid of the "wobbling" crank pulley problems? Especially to their new 2.5 line of motor? Wife is looking into a newer Mazda with 2.5L. Thanks

I've had a 2006, 2004, and now a 2007 and am on a very good number of mazda forums and have yet to even hear about what you're referring to.

Going from memory here but I believe the wobbling cranks were a Miata/Protege crankshaft issue from the early/mid-90's BP engines, resulting from wrong torque on the crank bolt after replacing the timing belt (or something to that effect), and had nothing to do with the recent MZR engines or the newer Skyactiv engines.....
