I have a 2006 mustang with a v-6.I bought this car used 2 weeks ago.I noticed the crankshaft pulley had some wobble.It only has 28,000 miles so I let the dealer look at it.They said there was nothing wrong with it. I still don't agree because if it's not running true, the belt is eventually going to wear out sooner.Does anyone have a clue what would be causing this?They said the crankshaft was fine.

Could be there was an under drive pulley installed and someone wasn't careful when they removed the stock pulley. (like prying it off with a screwdriver rather than using a puller). They could have just thrown the old one back on to sell or trade the car.
I would replace the pulley and bolt. (the bolt should not be re-used)

I took it to the dealership today for the 2nd time.They ordered a new pulley for it.Hopefully that will solve the problem.

The timing sensor reads from the pulley on the crank. If there was a problem it would most likely not run right. Graypony is correct, someone may have pryed on it or got damaged some other way tho.
