Okay, so I'm wondering if my 1yr old Ford belt tensioner is going bad. I noticed that the wheel on it does not spin freely like, for instance, the idler pulley wheel. It will spin a couple of revolutions then it comes to a quick stop whereas the idler pulley will spin and gradually come to a stop. A friend said that is a sign of the bearing going bad. For comparison purposes I purchased an auto store brand and it did the same thing.
At this point I'm wondering if both were bad (I've bought dude parts before), or if that's the way its supposed to be. Anybody have some feedback?
