85 bucks? Those pullies are like 17 dollars at O'Rileys. Speaking of which, mine is squeaking again so I'll be picking one up in a couple of days myself.

Wow thanks for the response I called autozone and advanced out here but noone had it so I kinda got screwed into that 1 it sucks my fear is it may not be the idler pulley.Why would it get better and no noise after i replaced the belt then 200miles later it comes right back thats what I cant figure out so I might get screwed into a whole bunch of things I dont need so we'll see
are you sure that idler pulley is the same one im talking about next to the water pump and comes with the dust covers I believe if so I think ill take a raincheck on that and do it myself
thanks for the reply
goodluck with yours

Well I took my car in this morning to have the idler pulley installed it was only 15bucks he quoted my wrong.My problem is still their so now he said it is my crank pulley and it needs to be replaced I guess it has a slight wobble to it so he was going to order another stock 1 and i said no im going to upgrade.So now im going to order either the slp underdrive pulley or the asp underdrive pulley I havent made up my mind yet,and to top it all off someone smoked my tires on the car while it was their I didnt notice until about an hour ago cleaning it up since they dirtyed it up so now I cant take my car back to those ******.I think the guy may be b'sing me on the crank pulley to but i do see the slight wobble. Can anyone answer me why when I changed the belt it went away for 200miles?noone can answer that question.Also I can see the pulley wobble and cause it to slightly rub back and fourth on the new idler pulley so tomorrow I may go to speed inc and pick up the new crank pulley anyways and order the belts.Also does anyone know if the slp underdrive pulley and the asp one have the same belts so maybe I can order those ahead of time????
thanks guys for the help

My crank pulley "wobbles" a bit also, but I always figured it was just because the whole engine itself is moving/vibrating a bit on the mounts since they're rubber, and that motion becomes apparent when focusing on the pulley.

Well I was planning to take mine in yesterday. But Tuesday I decided to take a look at the crank pulley as a last minute check. I pulled it most of the way off but had trouble pulling it all the way off the crank. Since it was getting late by then and I wanted to drive it in the next day, I just went ahead and put it back on. Drove it to work yesterday and heard nothing. Went to lunch, drove home, and went out last night...nothing. I don't know why it stopped and although I am expecting it to come back, I am keeping my fingers crossed. I'll let you know if it comes back.

If you have the car high enough, 240 ft lbs might not be too bad. I didnt have it all that high and it was a pain. So my advice is get it up in the air! Still no squeak here, but I'm waiting for the last test: rain.
