new pulley wobbles?

Just had a new harmonic balancer w/arp bolt, belt tensioner (I had replaced one of them previously), 2 new belts installed. Looks like the new pulley (balancer) has a little wobble-not as much as the old one. Should there be any motion at all in it? The repair certainly stopped the belt chirp I had, but, I'm a little concerned. Any thoughts?

If you went with a stock GM part, you should consider this normal (unfortunately).

If you went with a HQ aftermarket part, should run perfectly true (my ASP does).

Had it done at a local shop. Have not done business with them before, but they came highly recommended. I spoke with them at length prior to having the work done, and they seemed very knowledgeable. I guess the short answer is I don't know.

Most all LSX motors have slight wobble... at first it worried me, but I've looked at so many others and they all do it.
