Balancer is bad. Professional products makes one that is about the same cost as a stock one and the quality is much better.

whats a balancer and is the part expenisve?

 

[95-stang]

The balancer is directly behind the crankshaft pulley, they are not particularly expensive.
Using the proper tool to pull it off and replace it is a good idea though.

Get it replaced asap. They are not to expensive.

the harmonic balancer mounts to the front of the crankshaft and for an exact description of what it does click this link

You will need a harmonic balancer, removal, and installation tool(s). You should be able to rent/borrow from a locals parts house

 

[topless95]

ohh, and don't drive it until you replace it. Unless you want to see major carnage.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES START YOUR ENGINE!!!!!!!!

if its as bad as you say its about ready to cause some serious damage. replace that thing, its easy and not to expensive. auto zone /schucks/kragen whatever you have will rent you the tool.

well that would be the first thing i would have checked. but i recently had the same problem and me and my brother came to the conclusion that it was just the u-joints. changed the front and back and no more shaking. i had the same exact problem. i thought there was an earthquake going on or something. lol

Misfiring?

And if it shakes in park or neutral kind of takes the U joint idea out.
