A perfect tensioner will make a racket if the shock or shock bushings
are bad, if the idler or idler bearing is bad or if one of the belt
driven accessories is binding.
OR if the main crank pulley is starting to come loose. Happened
to our SDL, and made quite a racket with the (relatively) new
I should probably just replace the shock and the spring and see what it
does. It doesnt really move around alot just vibrates. Im assuming the
shock will have new bushings installed on it?
