98 3.0 vulcan. It keeps shredding belts. You can see the misalignment when the belt crosses the power steering pulley. I was wondering if maybe centrifugal force was making it push out too much. All pulleys look and spin good and idler and tensioner pulleys look and spin good. The belt keeps tracking off. Could a sightly bent tensioner arm do this? The tensioner and the power steering pump are both around $50, so I would rather not buy either without feeling confident that is the problem. One other thing, something is definitely not right because the belt just BARELY goes on. Seems too tight.
