I may be missing something, but with the sprocket being pinned through the shaft. If the shaft is moving, the sprocket is also moving.
The sprocket on the auger being aligned with the sprocket in the tensioner is also very important.
Since there is no side to side adjustment on the tensioner the auger sprocket needs to be aligned with the tensioner sprocket or the auger sprocket will continually try to pull the tensioner sprocket off to one side.
The pin and the pin holes that attach the tensioner to the thrower housing also wear and are often times somewhat sloppy. The bolts need to be adjusted to hold the sprocket straight with the chain to keep from wearing the tehsioner, sprockets and chain.
