Belt noise

I think it comes from the water pump pulley, I see it moving back and forward about 1/8" it is annoying. Can I replace the bearing in it or I have to replace the pump as well? I remember a thread talking about something similar but don't know if it was specific to this. Any tips, help?

Thank You.

The belt is moving around on the pulley or the pulley itself is moving? And are we really talking about the water pump (little smooth pulley down low and to the passenger side) or the fan support (got the fan on it)?

If the belt is walking around on the pulley, then the tensioner is bad.

I don't know where the noise is coming from but I see the water pump pullet moving back and forward about 1/8" or less. The belt is new and the tensioner don't look like it is the one that makes the noise but it is hard to tell which one it is except for the small play on the WP pulley. The belt don't move I believe it is the pulley. Is there any replacement bearing for this?

Thank You.

If the water pump pulley is moving around, then the pump needs to be replaced.

I suspect you may be talking about the fan support hub though. You can get a replacement bearing for that.

I just recenly had a similar issue with my fan support bearing and I posted updated numbers from applied for the bearing. They shipped mine today and it was around 84 dollars shipped.
