I'm trying to get my junk yard jewel on the road (1998). I don't know much about the history of this Jeep.
One of the little things wrong with it is that the power steering pulley is too far rearward by about 3/16" or so. What happens is that once the belt is running over the pulley the belt hops one rib over.
I've looked at the pump assembly and looked at the part numbers on the pulley and they match the parts manual.
The FSM doesn't show any way to adjust the pump forward. There is nothing obvious on the pump I can see.
I could stack some washers between the pump and the intake manifold but that would be kludgey.
Any ideas what I can do? I don't think the pulley is damaged... while this particular Jeep was involved in a front end accident wouldn't the pulley have some form of visible run-out if it was damaged during that event?
Anyone have a pic of the pulley off a `98?
TIA
