hey guys, i got a problem with my car. one of the pulleys on my car is shaking around like crazy and sound horrible. does anybody know if i need a new one or if it just needs tightened?? and how much it could cost for parts and labor?? thanks guys
Does the pulley wobble or is it just loose? If it wobbles, you probably need a new one(and maybe pump/compressor/whatever the pulley is on.) I had a bad power steering pump that wobbled just a bit on the pulley, and I shredded two belts before I finally fixed the problem by putting in another pump.

If it's loose, just try tightening it. Which pulley is it, and what kind of a sound does it make?

New Toyota project coming soon...

it wobbles, the pulley looks like it is connected to the water pump. i don't under stand how it could be the water pump though cuz i just got a new one put in sept. 2004 when i had my new engine put in. it sounds like a diesel truck when you start it and when you rev it a little bit.
