When I got my '95 the first thing I did was change the doohickey. The previous owner had never adjusted it. When I pulled the cover off and loosened the bolt, it fell off. It had split in half where it goes around the shaft.

Nomad59, I have more than 10 broken Balancer Lever Adjusters in my possession. Both the old style, pre-2007 and the new, upgraded sintered metal ones in the post-2007 models. A majority of the pre-07 s were bad welds, but I have two that the outer portion of the adjuster was totally missing.
I replaced my first doohickey in 2001 and I have sponsored 30 or so Tech Days at my office/shop. I think that I qualify as somewhat experienced, although not as experienced as some, Jeff Saline comes easily to mind.

You should be able to see the cracked/broken spot on the right side of the doohickey adjustment slot, toward top of photo.
