Recently replaced serpentine belt, tensioner, & idler pulley on my 2002 Explorer 4.0. Belt & tensioner are Motorcraft parts, pulley is FourSeasons.
Fired up engine after replacement, all looked good. Tensioner wasn't moving and alignment mark was perfectly centered.
Now after driving it for a few days and checking again, I noticed at idle the tensioner moving rapidly just a bit side to side after I turned on AC.
And idler pulley looks like it may have a slight wobble. I installed it using original hardware (Bolt, washer, spacer, and that small plastic thing (not sure what it is) torqued to 35lbs..
Any suggestions? Comments? Help?
Appreciate it!
