If the balancer has a wobble you need to replace it .There is a elastomer(spelling) ring inbetween the two metal pieces and there is nothing else holding the outer ring on.I had one to come off on my 95 gt it wasn't pleasant.Ireplaced it with another stock balancer(hardheaeded hehe)and I caught the second one goin out on me also ,hey at least I learned lol!I replaced the second one with a romac right before I sold the car.Hmmmm this has me wanting to go and check the one on my 88,anyway I say don't drive the car until you replace it or you could end up having to replace more than the balancer like me .I fyou do have to drive it keep the rpm's down.Dunno if that will help but it kinda makes sense .Good luck!
