Its a common enough problem that I wouldn't risk installing a used part.

My original pulley (1997 model) failed around 133k miles.
The failure seems to be related to age more than miles.
The steel on the original part appeared to be perfect, it is that non-metal section between the inner and outer steel parts that deteriorates to the point of failure.

Rob, yes, it had a slight wobble months before it began to squeak and threaten to dismember itself if I didn't fix it ASAP.
