new pulleys same old problem

[kibo55]

no matter what i seem to do to it my ac/power steering belt breaks every time i put one on. ive replaed the pulleys several belts and no matter what every they shred. i dont know whats wrong and i dont know what to do.

Is the power steering pump ok? maybe the pump is dragging (or frozen) and is tearing up your belts?

I had the same problem with my GS.

I had to replace the pulley and the bracket. The new pulley from mitsu had a bigger diameter and a wider belt surface. Works fine now.

Also, check to see if your crank pulley is out of round. Start the car and see if it wobbles at all, that can cause a belt tossing problem.

my pulley did wobble so thats the one i replaced. the next thing im working on is the mount. so i hope that this will be the end of it

Make sure everything lines up.
The power steering pump has a slid adjustment itself, make sure that it is not cocked in either direction.

I had this same problem. I would replace the belt on average of 1 time a week and shortly afterwards, I would see it starting to shred. I didn't know what was causing this problem for almost 3 weeks. Turned out to be the pulley being on backwards. Flipped it around and havn't had any problems yet.

if the pully was wobbling that is a symptom of a failure of the device the pully is attached to. IE your water pump, your PS pump, whatever. Replace the pump and i bet your problems will be over.

finally fiked it. my pulley was put on backwards and i hadnt noticed. so its all done now.
