Well I finally got the balancer replaced, only problem is that I noticed a slight wobble on the new one too I installed a ASP balancer(and a new GM bolt) with a A&A pinning kit and I thought that would be the end of it. Maybe it's nothing and I'm just seeing things, I don't know. You guys be the judge.

Another crappy video but you should be able to see what I'm talking about..

Well was this ever resolved yet? Sounds like the bolt backed out.

It is starting to fail now and it is giving you warning.
The 64,000 dollar question is:
How much longer will it be before it leaves you sitting on the side of the road or eats into the timing cover?
