3800 wobbly Belt at idle

[AdamGTP7]

I popped my hood just for fun and while I was lookin at the belt it was shifting left to right at idle. I noticed my tensioner pulley doing a tiny weird wobble.

How can I fix this? Could it just be tigtened up? Are there specs to how tight? If i need new parts do you know where I can get them from?

At a quick glance the mechanic told me I need a new tensioner pulley assesmbly... he said the spring behind the tensioner was giving out causing the belt to wobble.

please help

might just be the pulley.

The tensioner pulley is available from the dealership for about $22-25 depending on their mark-up. We have the WBS oversized tensioner pulley for under $20 on our website. I just got a shipment of them by mistake, if you want to contact Mike K about it, you can pick it up from me to skip shipping. I'll even throw it on for you (10 Min job)

They really aren't mine to sell, you'd have to go through Mike at the W-body store for it. If you e-mail him with it I'm sure he'd be fine about it. Maybe he'll allow me to take cash for it, but you'd have to ask him. I don't want to mess up his books!

I sent Mike an email , Thanks Ron

Mike replied and said it is ok if i give you the cash...Just let me know when and where and I will be there.

Edit... Just wondering can you do the install of ZZP motor mounts and Thrasher shiftkit?

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

Yes, but I'm a little hard up for free time. When are you thinking of doing it?

Whenever your ready...I dont push my car hard at all so im not worried about anything dramatic happening...Whenever your ready for the install of all the mods together let me know. If you cant do all the mods at once .....then let me know when to do the pulley thats #1 on my list as of right now. So whenever your ready let me know....How soon do u think you can do it? Thank you

 

[AdamGTP7]

Do you know about when you will be ready to do the tensioner oulley swap. And If u can do the Motor mounts and shift kit I wanna know how much will you charge me... Let me know as soon as you can Ron. Thank you

The tensioner pulley won't take me long. I can do it quickly, Just a bit uncertain of chaning the mounts in a timely manner.

Tell you what, I'll be home in the evening Tues (maybe after 7-8pm) and Wed (after (7pm). I go out of town until Late Sunday after that. I will have all the following Monday off. If you want to do it before I take off it's understandable. Shoot me a PM.
