Idler pulley bearing?

[40BelowSummer]

So my pulley spins freely and sounds fine, but it looks a bit wobbly. Do I need a new bearing?
I know bad ones will seize up and/or make noise, but do you think this play/wobble is fine?
Thanks!

if it spins freely and the belt runs true on it, I would not worry about it. But do collect spares, because some day it will no doubt have a serious problem...

I'd take the pulley off and lay it on a flat surface. I can't imagine it would be bent. I wouldn't be surprised if the bearing isn't the best, I assume you have to run more belt tension due to the supercharger.

Thanks guys. Yeah I had a belt walk off, so I was inspecting the pulley alignments - I still need to take a closer look but the 'wobble' of the pulley stuck out to me. I'll take a closer look with a straight edge when I get a chance to throw the new (3rd) belt on.

There is a spacer that goes inside of the bearing of the pulley before putting it on the tensioner...is that there? I can't remember how close that pulley is to the tensioner bracket.
