Power steering.
I changed the power steering belt the other day. Alternator pulley seems out of alignment using straight edge. After checking to be sure pulleys are tight l mustve overtightened th belt a little. Terrible groaning & ps fluid spewing from top of reservoir. Any knowledge will be helpful. Car is 2000 outback limited.

Re: Power steering.
Power steering is fine now, so the difficult issue now is how to align the power steering & alternator pulleys. Thanks in advance.

Re: Power steering.
How far out of alignment is the alternator? Are we talking two or three mm, or more than 5mm?
Standard alternator or has it been replaced recently?

Re: Power steering.
There isn't any adjustments to the alignment of the P/S pump or Alternator, so my thoughts are that if the pump and alt pulleys are inline, then the crank harmonic balancer is out.
