shaky engine pulley

I've got a 2006 F150 5.4L and today after changing the oil I noticed that the ribbed pully between the crankshaft and the powersteering pump pulley wobbles. I can shake it with my hands even with the belt on it. It appears to be an idler pulley...should I be concerned that it wobbles?

I would be, is the bolt holding it tight?

Welcome to FTE.

Yes, the bolt is tight. I only have 9,000 miles on the truck, surely the sealed bearings aren't bad already? It is strange that it is the only pulley that has slack.

I have a noise coming from under my hood that sounds like it could be a bearing humming. I'll check mine and see if it is wobbling too!
