Hey folks!

So I recently did my waterpump and all new belts for my 1995 1hd-ft. After installing the new drive belts (alternator+water pump) they were squealing until warm, so I tightened them a bit today by adjusting the alternator (I don't have a belt tension gauge to test spec), but noticed at the bottom stretch that they wobble quite a bit:

This whole shebang was my first time doing any work on vehicles, is this normal? Would anyone be able to film theirs to check for me? There isn't wobble between the crank and water pump, nor between water pump and alternator (really short throw though), but between the alternator and crank there's a ton of wobble.

The above video also has a very strange noise that I don't really hear myself (must be the proximity of the microphone), this is what the engine normally sounds like: New video · Monday, Apr 27 🎬 - https://photos.app.goo.gl/CReitfccZpMiWy8N6
The injection pump is almost definitely having the hammering issue described here:

Thanks for any help!!
