Can a dual mass flywheel come apart / get worn? ---

[alwayscode390]

If the weights on the Dual Mass Flywheel start moving easily is the flywheel worn?

Can the weights or any other part of the flywheel come apart?

I haven't seen a dual mass flywheel in person before so its hard for me to picture what is actually moving around on it.

Mine is noisy , which I can live with ... but I would hate for anything to come flying apart at 7k rpm if its worn to the point of replacement.

My car has 43k miles on it, and I am told its the original clutch and flywheel.

I was told the aluminum single mass lightweight flywheels can shatter ... is that the truth?

If someone has a pic that resembles our dual mass flywheel, please post it up for me , THANKS ! ---
