I have a stock haromonic balancer on my 95 gt that is superchargered and the rubber piece inside the balancer is coming apart. What is a good aftermarket balancer to use that is made in the USA?

I dont know if it made in the USA but just go to advance and pick up a pioneer, they're like 50 bucks.

The car is at my brothers apartment parking lot about a mile away from me. I have not driven the car since I found the balancer rubber hanging out. I want to drive it to my garage which is about a mile away. From looking at the pic of my balancer, would it be ok to drive it about a mile?

Is the car vibrating or running smooth?

It runs smooth, no vibrations.

If it is not vibrating, you could try a gentle, low rpm drive.

My 79 spit two stock Ford balancers off. The first one just slipped and vibrated like a mother, and I had a 75 mile drive. Fixed it with a junk one, and put an new one on two weeks later.

A couple months later, that new one had the bolt break and just fell off. Did not hurt anything.

No clue why, but I put the original 78 Thunderbird balancer that came on the crank back on it, and it has been there 9 years and spins to 6k at the track. Go figure.
