    Frankly, I don't think posting videos of your shaft play online is normal....



    But, seriously there is usually some play in the factory spring coupler. do you have the factory coupler? or have you replaced with a solid coupler?

    I still have the factory coupler. Thanks for the info.

    When they spin. When you stand on it in traffic to jump into a spot. Then maybe you smell rubber. Someone was commenting on the smell of burnt rubber. I was providing context. I do seem to spin them more with the 2.6.

    Agreed. Looks very much like the weakest point in the tensioner arm.
    I ordered one off Amazon so I can check it out further. A bit of strengthening in that area might be a good idea.
    I'd rather fix it before a potential break then possibly have to deal with it later.
    Who knows, maybe if I figure something out others might be interested an improved version.
