The balancer will show bad/cracked or missing rubber between the hub and outer ring and if you see the ring has moved fore or aft frm the hub its junk.
The frt drive pulley being of similar construction will fail even more obviously,the center will seperate from the outer pulley and there will be marks where the webbing hits the hub mounting bolts.
The 2 should be replaced as a pair,but the pulley tends to fail more often and can be changed alone if the balancer is ok.
AC Delco or Powerbond are the 2 quality replacement options-Dorman is junk.
