Does the LFX have balance shafts?

Well, it's better than another "exhaust" question that seems to fill up this section more than anything else.

The reason I asked is because over on the 6th gen forum, I read that the LTG 4cyl has balance shafts. So, it made me curious if the V6 (LFX/LGX) had them as well.

Valid point is valid.

Balance shafts are essential on a four cylinder engine in order to eliminate the inherent vibration that a 4 cylinder produces. Six cylinder engines don't have the same vibration characteristics.
