Drastic Measures- PW pump out alignment- Please Help! 200 1990

I cannot get my PS pump aligned and make the belts stop making noise. I have replace the accessory bushings with IPD polyurethane. The pulley is still leaning toward the front of the car.

What needs to be replaced to make it stop- the Bracket- what else is there?

    Drastic Measures- PW pump out alignment- Please Help! 200 1990

    I have/had this issue with my Alternator. New Bushings didn't help either. On my Alternator, holes in the Alternator for the lower Pivot Bolt are Oval shaped from wear.

    I do not rely on the tension bolt to tighten up the Alternator, I actually lean on the alternator to make it align with the waterpump as I tighten the Lower bolt. It's a bit of a hassle but it works. You may want to try that with the PS pump.
    They squeal real nice when they are misaligned , don't they?
