Exclamation C32 Owners Please Help!

I opened up my hood last night after a long period of driving so i checked my belt and other pulleys to see if i have any wobbling effects like the others.

When i looked at the tension pulley, the thing that is attached behind the pulley is shaking up and down a little. So i was wondering if this is normal. i have never really paid attention to this since few of the other post about other pulleys.

Can you guys please take a look and tell me if it's the same in your car? Since i don't have another C32 to compare it to, Please Help me out.

#9 Is the pulley that is shaking(the thing that is attached behind pulley, not the pulley itself)

I noticed the same exact thing on my 02 c32. My car is completely stock with 58000k. They told me at the dealership that that was normal. They told me that there was a spring connected to the pulley and it is supposed to move like that.

Yes, it is normal to have a little play in this assembly due to the spring. That said, it shouldn't have too much play.
