would a little piece of rubber sticking out mean i have a bad balancer already. Cause i dont feel any vibrations at low speeds, the only time i do feel a vibration is when i accel to high rpms and while gaining speed from 3 to 5 or even if im going at a high speed in 5 my car vibrates and vibration stops if i push in clutch could this be the reason why

um its certainly not a good sign ...while the car is running takea look at it .. notice any wobble to it ?? if you do see a wobble id stop driving the car and replace it , if not atleast keep an eye on it daily .. stock ford balancer is like 60 bucks ..definately worth not ruining your engine over .

i just checked right now with the car running and it does look really wobbly hopefully i didnt mess up anything else, i was reading other threads on the balancer and thats where i got the idea that i might have a bad balancer, i found this one locally some guy is selling for 100 from summit that its adjustable 0 -28-50 you all think its a good one im pretty sure its used. this is the part number summit part number c4270

so is that summit one good or should i just go get one from autozone they have one for 60

I honestly wouldnt trust a Parts store balancer.At the least buy a Ford Racing Balancer but if it was me Id skim over the internet and buy yourself a good used 50 oz Romac or similar Balancer.I dont trust stock junk personally.
