I was driving back to college today when I heard an awlful noise coming from under the hood, 5 mins later when I got there I checked it and it was the tensioner pulley. It was wobbling maybe 1/8 of an inch and making a horrible noise. Do I have to replace the whole pulley or is it the bearings? Also is it safe to drive temporarily because I am at school and will need to drive it home before I can get it repaired(about 65 mi)?

Hey sounds like you need to replace the hole thing. Its not hard to do, I would not try to make the drive home , if it fails on the way home then your screwed. If you dont have the tools to fix it try autozone they have loanatools good luck.
