Alternator Pully
I read a while back about there being a new pully design for the alternators on the vettes...i have a 98 and when at idle turning or backing out of a parking spot and turning the wheel it shakes the car and sounds like its going to die, sometimes it makes the belt squeal?
IS the alternator pully what causes this, and what is the fix?

Do you have an A4?
Does you RPM's drop below 600 when turning the steering wheel to the lock position?
Or is your problem that when turning the steering wheel to less than the stops it 'shakes"?
It is possible that the steering unit is at fault if the answer to the last question is yes.

Correction: A new Generator with Decoupler Pulley and reduced damping Accessory Drive Tensioner was implemented for all Corvettes with automatic transmissions at 2001 SOP (Start Of Production). The generator with decoupler pulley is used only on Corvettes equipped with an automatic transmission. The reduced damping accessory drive tensioner is used on all 2001 Corvettes.
