What I have found out is that it is not a harmonic balancer. It is just a pulley. The pulley acts as a dampner. It does this by virute of it's design. There are two sections which are held together by a rubber bushing. What happens is the rubber recieves quite a bit of demand from temperature and weather. It does not perform well at all. However it would need to wobble very badly to warrant replacement. It is very expensive and time consuming if you try to do it yourself. My car had a wobbler that was diagnosed as a bad vibration. So I replaced it and the vibration was still there.
