power steering pump

[jereli]

I noticed from pictures I have seen that my power steering pump is not straight up..it slanted to the side. I cannot get it straight up to tighten the new belt I bought. The way you see it in the picture is the highest it can go before stopping on the adjustment bracket. Any ideas? It appears the old belt is slightly smaller and I cannot tension the new belt which is the correct size.

I don't see the picture?

Oops here it is.

All the pic's I see of other ones they appear to be straight up. Not sure why mine is tilted like that. There is no more room for adjustment.

You need a smaller power steering belt.

But isn't my power steering pump suppose to be vertical and not slanted the way it is? It just doesn't seem right..I bought the correct belt for my truck and is seems too big.

V belts you get one size smaller most the time
