Power steering belt
Hi all
Cars done a strange thing. For the second time now my power steering belt has made a bid for freedom. Last time it got caught up on the oil filter and I refitted it but this time it's gone and manages to flip the alternator belt on the way out. Both occasions have been on motorway runs and it's been fine for a month in between. On neither occasion has the tensioner loosened off. Any ideas? Rich |
Are your accessory mount bushing shot? or tensioner at the end of its travel?
or the mounting bracket cracked? |
bushings are fine i believe, certainly there isn't much play in either the alternator or the power steering pump. the power steering pump seems to be at a slight angle and out of alignment with it's location on the bottom pulley.
new belts on now so i just hope these ones last. Rich |

The tension of the PS belt will pull the PS pump out of alignment, leans toward the crankshaft pulley. |
Yes
