steering

yea so i broke the tensioner pulley on the alternator belt... got it fixed and now my power steering is non existant... wtf. i added some fluid and it got better, i figured it just needed to work itself out but then it just got worse and worse. Anything that would directly affect the steering that u guys can think of?

Belt routed wrong and slips around pump pulley, return or pressure line crimped somewhere?

smaller pulley causing the OEM belt to be too slack, or misrouted as Max suggested? How low was the p/st fluid? If the pump is growling, you may need to bleed the air out of the system by slowly turning the wheels lock-to lock and checking for foam in the fluid (not an easy task to see the p/st pump reservoir on a 3800). If fluid is foamy, let it settle and then repeat process until fluid stays up and no longer foams.
