So I wanted to post up a quick question for y'all here. I'm in the middle of my TB job waiting for my kit to get in from IDparts tomorrow. Everything is tore down (my 100k kit failed at 60k due to a WP).
All of the issues that I've read about seem to be about the serpentine belt tensioner "bounce" related to the strut. That is in good shape on mine.
What I'm curious about is the pulley shaft "play". The pulley is in visibly good shape, no odd wear or anything, and spins freely and smoothly.
But if you grab the thing like you're checking for a loose wheel bearing and rock it, you can feel some noticeable shaft play (think of rocking it perpendicular to the block). It's not a lot, but I didn't think to check it when it was a new unit.
I know it can be replaced without doing a TB, but at this point if I need a new one it would be easier. I just cant justify dropping the coin if that play is normal and isn't going to harm anything. There have been no weird belt squeals or noises of any sort.
The caveat is that I would need the part tomorrow if I in fact do need the assembly, the only one local is a Napa unit which is over $100. I plan to go there later today to pull their new one out of the box to check the pulley on it, but I figure I'd check here first.
Thanks in advance all!
