hi guys
my front pulley has got a wobble
is this a common fault on an older car or is it worth looking at a second
hand pulley?
do these puleys have a rubber center or something?

if your talking about the pulley on the crankshaft
then you may have the dreaded "short nose crank"
failure. The keyway that holds the pulley on becomes
worn due to bolt or crankshaft nose failure. Incorrect
installation of the key steel when getting a cambelt
done has sometimes caused this. Id get it looked at ASAP!!!
