It possibly could be. However, with a much higher rate of failure of the balancer, I'd DEFINATELY look at that first.
If you put the car on jack stands, remove the passenger front tire, remove the inner fender, and look at the dampener / balancer, I bet you'll see the rubber cracking and shredding between the inner and outer portions.
At that point, it's possible to do the balancer yourself if you so choose.
