The pulley in question is also wobbling. What is this pulley for?

Thanks!

Looks like the idler pulley bearings are bad. You need a asp idler or OEM replacement.

That's what I was thinking. Calling tomorrow to get the other two ASP pulleys.

Could this be the culprit to my overheating at idle issue?

If it is the water pump pulley possibly. Don't think the idler could cause that unless it was causing a drag on the other pulleys.

Remove the belts and check your pulleys. It's a 15 minute job and you can be SURE where the problem is. I agree that the idler or tensioner pulley could be at fault.
