99 windstar tensioner and pulleys

I'm about to get the serpentine belt replaced on my windstar with 128000 miles. Is it a good idea to replace the tensioner and the idler and tensioner pulleys as well at the same time, or will I be replacing something that may have quite a bit of life left?

Re: 99 windstar tensioner and pulleys

You can check them while the belt is removed. Spin each one by hand and listen for any noises. Also feel them while you spin each one.

Any grinding noise indicates the pulley should be replaced.
