Default Pulleys starting to vibrate

i noticed that my pulleys are starting to vibrate a little. Its not anything dramatic but should i get new pulleys now before they get worse? How big a problem is this?

Ummm....Pulleys shouldn't vibrate at all! Have you checked to make sure their tight? Which pulley specifically? Which ever one it is, you should probably pull the belt off and check the shaft of whatever component it's attached to for excessive play. And don't put it off, you may have an impending component failure of some kind coming, and what ever fails may take something expensive with it!

Is it the power steering? If it is mine has a vibration at idle but any amount of RPMs and it goes away. been like that for over two years no problems.
