[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 16490074, member: 8854"] Do yourself a favor and get a laser alignment tool. They're about $60 or so but without it you're just pissing in the wind guessing if your pulley lines up or not. Many brands are this way on purpose so you can shim to fit. Remember most of these cars have aftermarket blowers & pulleys, idlers and dampers and lower pulleys. So many little tolerances get introduced. Been able to move the alternator back and forth a few thousands of an inch to get perfect alignment is a good thing but you need the right tools. Eye balling it and you'll be suffering and struggling and blowing money in shredded belts. I've even used straight edges in a pinch and gotten good results. [/QUOTE]
