Vibration Dampener out of whack?
I was underneath my car the other day when i noticed (engine is running) that the vibration dampener doesn't seem to be turning evenly. All my pulleys seem to be turning straight, but the vibration dampener looks like it has about a 1/4" of uneven play in it, almost as if it was bent. Is this something I should be worried about or is this normal? The car runs just fine and pulls pretty strong. Thanks.

Yup, the stock balancers tend to separate when the elastomer ring breaks down. Be careful or yours might end up looking like this:
