what are some signs that the pulley isnt doing so good. the belts are fine.. and im hearing a sound at low idle behind the passanger wheel ...
any troubleshooting tips would be nice

how many miles? what year, what does it sound like

is it kinda chirping (diff from squeekin belts)?

mine did the something similar, it was loud and annoying at idle, but goes away when the rpms start goin up. after i re torqued it to 105 ft. lbs, the sound became much quieter, and you can hardly hear it when the hood is closed.

hopefully its only that, and nothin to do with your timing belt.

I seem to hear some sort of grinding noise when it's cold. I only hear it if I'm cruising and then I hit the gas again, and it sounds kinda like a grinding noise (almost like rattling). Not squeaking, but more like if a cat was scratching some carpet. Any ideas?

power - shes a 97 rs w/ 43k on her .....the pulley has been on since 38k

vega thats the sound im talkng about !! all u did was re tq it ? i will look into it since she is due for a tune up .. thanks guys my car was sounding like a piece

some peeps powersteering pulley bearings go out on them, and thats wat causes the noise.

804- have no clue about grinding noise. u dont have your timin belt cover, so couldnt be that. i have no clue brutha,
