2008 2.4 with ~226k - Recently replaced tensioner, both idler pulleys and the belt - has a slight squeak and appears the belt is hanging over the lower idler pulley by 1/8” or so. Loosened the tension and adjusted the belt but it walks back to the same position. All other pulleys are dead center. Has anyone experienced this? Bad belt? Cheap pulleys with bad qc?
