im sure u need a new balancer. the rubber cant be replaced as its a
factory assembly.
u will need a balancer remover and a balancer installer. im not sure of
your situation on a 98 but you should be able to do it yourself
i could be totally wrong but it sounds like a typical balancer on
millions of cars.

It`s pretty expensive because they have to remove a lot of stuff in
front of the balancer to remove the old one and replace it. I`d stick
with a mechanic and avoid the dealership... it`t not rocket science and
any decent mechanic should be able to do it.

Never go to the dealer if you have a mechanic available..my son just took
his van into the dealer for the 30,000 mile check up and it cost him $326
for nothing more than a basic $ 13.95 Wal-Mart oil change...the rest of the
work was pure bullsh**...paid for shop supplies..check battery,check
water,check wipers and on and on but no real work of any kind done...etc..a
super rip off....do any of you realize that the person taking you car in for
service gets a big commision on any of the repairs that you come in
for...???
