<div>Jay,....What you see is aged rubber.Rubber has a shelf life of about 7 yrs.,and it will harden and crack.It basically looses it's softness,and may distort a little.Out of the 28 Corvair's that I have had over the years,I have never replaced any of these parts,due to failure.Save the money.Tires are a different story.They will seperate due to aging,and fly apart.My personal opinion is to drive as is,and not worry about these items,especially the balancer.I would recheck,and look for vibration when engine running.Both items mentioned are designed to absorb vibration.Hopefully,other members send along input.I have been a auto tech my entire career.Let see what the arm chair expert's have to say.

I am begining to think about replacing the balancer and the engine mount on my '67 110. </div>
<div>The rubber on the mount is dry, cracked and it is slightly dipped in the center. </div>
<div>The rubber is cracked on the balancer. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have attached pictures of the items. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there any other signs I should be looking for? <br>
</div>
<div>Does it make sense to replace both of these items at the same time? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just looking for some input, as both items are expensive. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you in advance -</div>
