Seems to be they did have issues at one point. I've lost one belt before and when I got the car the owner gave me a spare so starting to add up.

Under no load just idle it does seem to move like a bounce every once in a while. Is there a recommended replacement I saw people saying a 99+ tensioner. Like to do it all at once when I add my March hydro boost pulley

There’s 3 bolt and single bolt tensioners - which do you have currently? That’s the style you’ll have to stay with.

It’s not abnormal to see a little movement.

Losing belts - is it tossing them or shredding them or both?

Last time it shredded it. I thought the AC might have been the issue causing the shred but I'm not sure. It never shredded another one after I replaced it

Thanks for the input guys. I'll run with it for now since the little bounce seems acceptable. I keep a spare belt and a breaker bar incase
