Last thing that comes to mind is replace that serp belt, its got a lot of cracking, and if worn in by your bad tensioner before, it is likely skewed now on a good set up and not traveling true under load.

Good luck
Sure, it needs to be replaced. Had gotten one online that was The actual MB part, but the part number was wrong and it was 20mm too short,,,, went to AZ to get a continental belt, and it’s some subpar variant.

I’ll have a new quality 2120 belt soon. Hopefully continental contitech is still legit.

I have to think that I tightened the bolt too much which damaged it.

I also still don’t really know why the shock rubber shifted so much, like a washer’s worth…
