I just replaced my alternator pulley and serpentine belt tensioner to fix a chirping sound from the belt and a pretty severely bouncing tensioner. The sound is gone and the tensioner is moving a lot less, but is still bouncing a little at idle - bout a 1/4 inch side-to-side at startup. Does settle down to about half that after warming up and when the engine revs it is steady.
Would anybody who has done this chime in on whether the tensioner still moves around a bit after replacing the alternator pulley? Seems pretty good to me but I was hoping for it to be rock solid after this R&R.
Thanks.
