My main pulley is wobbling, the one on the water pump and fan. Its weird tho, sometimes it will be going straight, but other times it seems like its wobbling. My water pump is only a few months old, my fan is tighten on straight and Im only running one v belt for my ps pump, no other belts. Could it be my fan or maybe a bad water pump? Its been like this for a while tho. Thanks

Well when you put the water pump, did you make sure the pulley sat in properly and the bolts were tightened?
If there was any thing in the way and it wasn't seated properly after running the engine for a while, it would seat and then there will be the play hence the wobble.
Another option the water was bad but usually if it wabbles enough to be visible, the seal should leak water, does it leak?
The other thing to look for is the pulley itself:
Sometimes the pulley would crack around the innner edge so the mounting flange would be still on tight but the pulley could be seperating and soon it will break off and you'd be in trouble.
