My ps pump pulley is running wobbley, and so is the harmonic balancer is this normal? also when at a set of lights and braked my cars only at like 600rpm and shakes about abit is this also normal or no? Recently had major service, plugs all filters, leads, and new battery. But pretty sure these still occurred before service. Car vt series II executive, the steering is a prick to park it sucks when not giving it a bit of accelerator, has brand new everything in the steering tho, pump rack hoses, doesn't had a new pulley tho an it's wobbles. And also when stopped at set of lights I feel a vibration coming though my steering wheel, any suggestions?

vs commodore
If the pulleys are wobbling, then somethings not right, they should run true. The harmonic balancer is known for wobbling badly when its on its way out. The rubber section of the balancer perishes, cracks and then the balancer fails, so carefully check this..
