This bulletin contains procedures for checking power steering belt alignment and correcting misalignment.
SYMPTOM AND CONDITION
The customer may complain of conditions related to misalignment of the power steering pump pulley.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
1995-97 Eclipse equipped with the 2.0L Non-Turbo (420A) engine
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURES
Use the following diagnosis procedures to check the alignment of the power steering belt. If the belt is found to be out of alignment, shim the power
steering pump pulley according to the steps in the REPAIR PROCEDURES.
VEHICLES WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING
First, visually inspect the alignment of the power steering pump pulley to the crankshaft pulley. If belt and pulley misalignment cannot be visually
verified, check the alignment with a straight edge as shown in the illustration.
VEHICLES WITH AIR CONDITIONING
Inspect the alignment of the power steering pump pulley by looking at the position where the belt rides on the idler pulley (tensioner). If the belt is riding
over the edge of the idler pulley as shown by the overhang in the side view in the following illustration, the power steering pulley is misaligned.
