There is one on eBay at the moment $47 plus shipping. May not be for the SRT though, sorry.

Try MB dealer slk32 AMG I think. Also check salvage yards. Maybe someone else here can be more specific. You might also try this facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1524454141177666/
Good luck

OK since I am new to all this when I asked if the part was for the super charged engine he replied with this:"This balancer was taken from a supercharged mercedes v6 (c36 amg). I can not verify the Chrysler application. I would call the dealer with your vin#"

Can someone tell me if the two are the same, or do I need to look for a Chrysler specific part?

The C36 had a 3.6 L STRAIGHT 6 engine, I doubt if it would fit.

The SRT6/SLK32 part has been updated due to weaknesses in the old part.
112 035 16 00 is the correct number I believe. Check it out.
Why buy a used part with known problems?
Get a new seal and bolt while you are at it.

Trust me don’t f around with used

For a few bucks more just contact Rob at needswings

New part
Correct part
Recourse if it’s incorrect
Installed and done.

Don’t focus on the cost of this item. Focus on the importantance of this item.

If you’re ok with doing this more than once, then you should buy the used part.

To me, cutting a few corners when it comes to transportation can be dangerous

no the c36 is a different engine, your engine is a 3.2 supercharged v6 , you want one from a 2002 to 2004 slk32,,or a c32 or a Chry Crossfire srt6 , are you sure you need a new balancer,, tell us what your car is doing and or make a video of the lower pulley how many miles on your car? again call or email rob at Needswings ,,,,,,NeedsWings Performance Products

the rubber degrades and separates out from the pulleys, this causes the pulley to wobble. i have seen it several times now. if you find a used one that isn't bad yet, it is on borrowed time now after being in the elements for the past 15 years. here are the new ones...

Is this the same part? ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-19...ZW0DEt&vxp=mtr ). Quite a difference in price, if it is...
