Hey im new to the forum, its nice to meet you guys/gals.

I Recently purchased a 2005 crossfire SRT6 last thursday and its been a busy car. Got stranded at work on fathers day, the key randomly siezed. Fixed it at my work but it was tough. Intercooler pump replaced, and 7000 mile oil change. I was shocked at how thick the oil was when it came out... oil filter looked like a pine cone lol. And now I noticed that a pulley/clutch is wobbling but only in the middle. I took a video hoping you all could help?

This forum saved me $$ with the" stickey key fix", and saved me $400 more dollars with the IC pump DIY. This forum rocks.

Also, here's what I traded for my xfire. 2005 G35 Coupe.

Thanks!

 

Looks like the big washer isn't centered. The washer has alignment pins on it that center it. Maybe someone took them out or installed the washer backwards.

Welcome to the XF family by the way!

 

So is this un-centered washer bad for my xfire?

 

i dont think its the washer. only 1 way to install the washer . the alignment pins make it go on 1 way. sounds like the s/c bearing is going bad. 50$ to needswings and a press and its fixed
do not overtighten the s/c bolt!!! its hollow and will break with anything over 15 ft/lbs. 20nm torque is all thats needed

 

The washer is fine, the pulley is OK for now too. When it gets worse, or if you worry a lot, you'll need to put a new bearing in the pulley. Mine makes more noise than yours with only 9000 miles.

I don't hear anything abnormal with the car, just looking at that washer wobble kinda freaked me out lol.

But the census is that its okay? I just got this xfire and I love it way more then my G35 even though my G had fewer issues off the bat.

 

How many miles on your SRT?

 

I have 38xxxx miles. Still failrly new if you ask me.

 

New member bump!

So nobody has any idea?
