    I'd have to assume this is a bad tensioner. Thoughts?

    Well the whole reason I checked it out is cause it was a little shaky at idle. I have a bad front mount so I guess it was extra sensitive. I can see the shakiness in the pulleys/belt when the car is running.

    It's not moving a whole lot. Just a small shake. It's okay?

    thats what mine does, it moves a small amount. like a little bounce back and fourth.
