Here's my "doctored" image. per Gilly's request. The green line indicates approximately where (+/- 10 deg.) the center of the pulley wheel should be on a good unit. The red line indicates where it ends up after 17 years and 130,000 mi. The end result in not enough tension on the belt to keep it from slipping. Actually, this one was right at the end of it's useful life. It would provide just enough tension, but was at the limit of the adjuster.
