- Inspect the bearings by rotating the pulleys to look for bearing slop or choppy feeling bearings.
- Inspect the springs on the tensioner. If the rubber is damaged or if the spring is damaged, change the assembly.
- Inspect the pulleys for damage and excessive wear. If pulleys or the belts are damaged, change the damaged pulley and the belt.
- Check the belt wear pattern on all idler pulleys.
- If the belt wear pattern is incorrect (A), change the pulley and bracket assembly.
