See, that's the thing.
If it's slipping side to side if there is a problem it's probably not the tensioner causing it, but a pulley that is out of alignment. The more it's out of alignment with the other pulleys, the worse the belt will travels side to side.
Belts will do this to some extent at times anyways. You just don't want too much of it.
A bad tensioner is more likely to cause belt slapping or if it's really bad, to jump teeth.

according to my friend, when i started it and gave it some gas, he said the belt was slipping to the side as if it were trying to slide off the cam gear.
i was at my friend's house, he has a garage with alot of goodies, he strips cars (eclipses and talons mostly) and sells the parts on ebay, and my friend teaching me is a mechanic at a car dealership, although ive been told he half-asses sometimes...lol
