Wobbling Crankshaft pulley...help!! thx

Hey guy I have a small wobble on my crankshaft pulley, but When I give it some gas the crankshaft pulley just spins straight again. Anyone has this kind of situation before??

Car info. 160K 2001 Infiniti I30 4AT... Still running strong but tranny sucks

Also if I were to replace the crank pulley, what would be the best quality part other than the OEM? (Budget is kinda tight, around 130$)


Thanks!

It could very well be the inner casting of the pulley that you see "wobbling". I saw this one a altima the other day and wondered the same, but it was normal.

Does it mean no replacement is required? Coz I am thinking about making a long road trip soon all the way from AZ to TX and back... Wanna make sure nothing would go wrong and not let me get stranded on middle of nowhere

Btw thanks for your info

might want to get it checked out, i had the same thing on my 3rd gen. had a wobble and the crank pulley itself was bad, then a year later it started wobbling again but the engine crank was shot. i drove it for about another year with a inch of wobble before the engine started knocking
