Another tensioner qestion...
Is the tensioner wheel supposed to wobble? My 98LT is sqeaking pretty bad and I know it's from the belt area but I can't pin down where. I backed off the tensioner and the only pulley that had any play was the tensioner. Is this normal or should it be a nice smooth bearing type roll?

Re: Another tensioner qestion...
the tensioner arm should move back and forth, but the pully itself should have a smooth spin to it. If it doesn't replace it. It's actually cheaper to replace the entire tensioner instead of just the pully.

The spring is fine but the pulley has a wobble (feels loose) when I spin it by hand.

How hard is it to replace? I see it only has one bolt. Will I need to preload the spring first or is it a direct bolt on?

direct bolt on, just remember though, it's reverse thread, so clockwise to loosen

IS the bearing a regular item at the auto stores?
