Pulley Alignment

[gtsfirefighter]

While researching a screeching sound I discovered this:

That's a new ac compressor. I can't remember what brand it is but I know it's not a Denso. The idler pulley is only a few months old and was the source of the screech. I was thinking maybe shimming the front two bolts on the compressor to help align it better, getting a new idler pulley and belt.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ac compressor was put on a couple of months ago.

I have seen this on a couple different cars make sure that the idler pull isn't on backwards and the washers are in the right sides generally caused by the at home do it yourselfers lol

Well I thought of that but the idler and crank pulleys look to be lined up perfect.

New pulley and new belt plus I shimmed the front two bolts on the compressor and it seemed to help. It aligned enough to where the belt is not rubbing on the side of the pulley. I could probably shim it just a little bit more but pressed for time today.
