Has anyone experienced a water pump pulley wobble? Symptoms are power steering pump belt wearing on edges excessively and a grinding noise coming from water pump. No leakage yet from pump and no overheating, it just wobbles while idling and grinds. Water pump pulley has about 1/8" to 1/4" movement in it front to back and bolts move with pulley!

Only 10000 miles or so on it and gates blue belts, AND TIMING BELT!!

Guess I need a new water pump?

Since only 10000 miles on oem timing belt and components, is it a forgone conclusion that I have to remove timing belt? No way to replace pump and not have to disassemble timing components?

DANG Thing!!!! I guess I overtightened the PS pump or Alternator to cause a new OEM......yes OEM pump's bearings to fail like this!! DANG DANG DANG.....
