noisy pulleys and water pump

Out Of Control!!
I would not worry about asking everyone the question--"noisy pulleys and water pump--any one with advise" because this is a very philosophical question.
Think of it this way, to some folks noise is good--they can party, dance and drink to the noise. To others noise is not good and they will beat their car till the noise stops or shoot their guns in the air or pray and extra time or sacrifice a goat or ride an elephant to get the noise to stop.
Therefore get ready for all sorts of responses!!
My advice is to leave it alone, why spend the time to determine what is causing the noise and fix, when left alone,in a short time the pump will freeze up, the belt snaps off and the pulleys will fall off and the noise will be gone---problem solved!!

When I did my thermostat I figured I would change the idlers at the same time since something we making a touch of noise.
Turned out the idlers felt fine, but the tensioner was not as smooth feeling. (Of course that was the part I did not have on hand).
Too bad you can not just buy the wheel and bearing, like the idlers.

The pivot bolt that doesn't have a pulley wears out and causes misalignment is why you replace the unit.

The only "noise" now comes from the exhaust. The music of my people. Or from inside the car. When it's packed with attractive young women. Which is always.
