Ok, here is my problem, my g/f has a 95 eclipse turbo, gst not the gsx, well she threw her accessory drive belts, well in the process of putting the belts back on I noticed that the crankshaft damper pulley is rocking from side to side, is this caused by a possible spun bearing inside the crank and her bottom end now needing a rebuild or does this model have a rubber bushing with the harmonic balancer that is possibly worn that replacing the harmonic balancer will fix.
Thankyou for any of your advice, I tried to search for something on this and did not find anything addressing this specific issue as of yet, sorry if this has already been covered and if it is just hit me up with a link to it and I will go from there.

Just the pulley needs to be replaced. Don't drive the damm thing this way. When mine came apart, it stuffed the A/C belt into the lower timing cover, causing the timing belt to jump 5 notches and destroying the head and pistons.
 
appreciate it... I must say this site is one of the most informative sites I have seen as far as forums go, I have 89 vw golf I have put a corrado g60 in, a jeep cherokee with 5.5 inches of lift and a ford lightning that is on its way, I am a member of forums on sites regarding all of these and I must say this is the most informative site I have been to and there are some very intelligent people on here with excellent technical advice.. thanks again..
