Have you tried to look around it at the black rubber seal? When mine went south, the seal(or whatever you want to call it) was sticking out quite a bit. Could be seen and even easier to feel.

Yea, every balancer at idle looks like it's shaking around. The only way you can tell if rubber part is coming out. If you have any doubts then just replace it. I got an aftermarket replacement for $60 and the puller tool for $15. It's a very very easy install. Took me an hour and a half at the most. Good luck
