I got it all apart (still need to get the tensioner off -- I didn't have a 12mm hex key socket on hand) and the tensioner arm bushing has a lot of play in it.
Since it was such a PITA to get the fan/shroud/etc/etc off, I'm thinking I'll replace the damper since it's apart now. It still feels 100% good, but I don't want to repeat this exercise for another 150k. Is the Stabilus from Pelican a good choice?
