I was looking into getiing one of those DMDs but I never did, anyway It should harm anything by wiggling? 1995 Contour LX (ATX) KKM True Rev Sport Induction ( Video ) Alpine CDA-7894 / JBL 1200W AMP 12" MTX Subs 5x7 Alpine Mids Brullen mandrel bent quasi-dual exaust

I wouldn't include the crankshaft pulley in that same list. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6

The glue's strength fades over time and the rubber deteriorates. For a 8 year old car (1995 Cont. in your sig) it's not unheard of. Will it fail tommorrow? Probably not, but personally, I wouldn't want a 1/2 lb or so weight spinning a few krpm loose in my engine bay.
