Crankshaft pulley/pulley belt making noises...

Hey,

I just noticed that my crankshaft pulley is wobbling a tiny bit and making a noise. Would someone be able to see if their crankshaft pulley is also wobbling. By the way, this started happening today after I went to the track yesterday.

Peace.

Maybe the pulley just needs to be tightend? Or the belt is loose?

Peace.

mine "wobbles" too; I think it's because they are not exactly precision-made pieces and appear to be wobbling because the part is not perfectly round.

I saw someone say their car ran smoother with an UDP, is this why? So an UDP might be an improvement over the stock pully?

My car started to jiggle at idle no matter what gear it was in after I installed my UDP. It sounds like you need to have them retightened.
