Power Steering Pulley On Diff Angle Then Crank Pulley

Yes, it's a bad thing. You'll be throwing the belt on a regular basis.

yeah but the belt never snapped, but if you look on it straight, the power steering pulley is bent it looks like. but everything looks straight maybe its the pulley itself.

oh well i guess ill drive it until something happens.

when i get paid im gonna get electric water pump so new brackets for the power steering and alternator. and ill get new pulleys.

Mine is the same way, maybe a bit worse. It worked fine for about a month then it flipped the belt, and about a week later the fan ate it i put a new one on and its been fine ever since but soon enough itll happen again.
