Product Overview
Mercedes-Benz parts catalogs identify #2720301572 as an earlier number. The manufacturer also notes that the balance shaft and counterweight should be replaced as a pair, making this a precision engine repair rather than a simple bolt-on replacement.
A confirmed balance-shaft gear or shaft failure can lead to timing-related symptoms, but camshaft-adjuster faults and timing chains need independent diagnosis.
