My 1986 240 has A/C, so the power steering is driven off one of the dual pulleys on the A/C.

I was getting a lot of noise off the P/S belt, and someone pointed out that the belt seemed to be riding too low. Another clue is that the bottom of the pulley groove is polished, from the belt riding on the bottom. The belt on the other A/C pulley (to the main crank pulley) is wider, and seems to ride at the correct height. I checked with several outlets, and all seem to quote a 13mm wide belt for the crank to A/C, and a 10mm wide belt for the A/C to P/S.

Does anyone know if the P/S belt is supposed to be 13mm wide, and if there's an online source that quotes such a belt for the P/S?
