Yeah I couldn’t find one either, only for 95-97 , but I think the 98-02 are a shorter bolt, you should be able to reuse your balancer their all metal not like my 1996 which is rubber on the inside which dry rots and goes bad.

Why do you need to replace the balancer? 95-96 is p/n 12563267 - replaced with p/n 12563281 for 1997-2002, which does use a shorter bolt and is discontinued.

I installed the 97+ on my 96 years ago.

95-96 on left - 97+ on right

Nice Robert, I forgot that it’s 1997 to 2002 that are the same. This is a sticky on the top of the threads also.

So I replaced my crank sensor and ****ed up my original one pulling it off wrong. The one I got off a Camaro at the scrap yard is wobbling bad. I have the one on the right and I just reused my bolt. So get the one on the left? And what about a bolt?

No you still use the one on the right. The bolts are TTY so you need a new bolt.
