Misaligned Alternator belt shredding

Hey everyone =)

My Alternator belt is crooked-- when you put a ruler beside it (the belt) going from the water pump, you can tell--and it is shred on one side. When I bought my car it just had a new water pump put in so Im thinking maybe there is a spacer that they forgot to put in??? If anyone has ever experienced this I would be grateful for any advice. I can't afford to shred another belt its freezing out in NH !!!! =(

You might want to try the accord forum...

.. but sence your allready here, see if your alt needs adjusting or if the pulley is put on wrong or warped.

Yeah...I posted here cause I knew I'd get a faster response. =)

Nevermind, It was a spacer that was placed on the wrong side of the alternator that was causing this--problem fixed.
