Hi guys,
Bad day at the office yesterday.

History: 1991 240, 189k, I had replaced accessory belts b/c of screeching a while ago. Very little improvement. I noticed that the P/S pulley was misaligned, and following BB advice I replaced all the bushings on A/C and P/S pump yesterday. Hence the bad day: 4 hours for the 7 bushings, had to grind nuts, etc. Add half an hour of washing afterward so I would be allowed in the house again.
And then: no improvement! Maybe a little bit (who am I kidding). But the pulley still looks off.

Given that extensive swearing rarely fixes the problem: what do I do now? My plan is to 'adjust' alignment with some washers at the mounting points and maybe take a closer look at the holes in the hinge-arms of the P/S pump.

Any better ideas or advice?
Thanks,
Boerre
