Timing belt and vibration related?

[sweetjumper32]

Okay. I've got this vibration problem. It happens at 1700 rpm, no matter what, driving or just reving the engine, but it also happens at higher rpms. My timing belt, which has not been on for long, 6 months or so, is also worn on the engine side of the belt. Could these problems be related? Is something chewing up my timing belt and causing the vibration? The vibration is not horrible, I just fear losing my timing belt and would like to get it taken care of. Help is really needed, I'm at school, and do alot of driving. Don't want to have any serious problems. And if it's timing belt related, those are big problems. Please help. Thanks, Michael

Also, there were no problems after installing the timing belt, this problem has just recently arisen.

Only prudent course is to pull the entire Front Cover & see what's going on.

Ten-to-one your balance shaft(s) is out of phase. But the belt should not be rubbing anywhere.
