30182, wobbly pullies..is this ok?
Posted by SPL_Eclipse, Aug-14-02 07:51 AM
a few days ago i posted about my power steering belt slipping off all the time. well, my belt slipped off agin today, and while it was off i took some time to inspect everything and found that both my a/c compressor and tensioner pullies are kind of loose. its not bad; i can only wobble them around a little bit, but could this be causing my problem?

There should be a bolt on the end you can tighten, maybe this has loosened up. There probably will be a little play in it, just as long as it's not too much (I knoe this was of little help).

yes, it's kinda bad. Each tensioner belt has a lock bolt and a loosening/tightening bolt. You must first untighten the lock bolt and then tighten the the tightening bolt to make the belt tighter. After doing so, you need to retighten the lock bolt. If you tighten the lock bolt enough, the tensioner pulley will no longer "wobble". Good luck.
