The p/s pump is the lowest belt driven item; it hangs a little lower than the crank pulley and the car is missing the front splash shield; the front spoiler is a little battle scarred but still in place, and the car bears no obvious damage underneath. It has had a long term valve cover gasket leak and was really oily and grimy. In taking it apart I discovered the pulleys are all plastic! Any ideas on what caused the p/s pulley failure?

It hit a parking bumper thing they use no doubt or some other obsticle. I've seen Beamer's (not this model) crack the oil pans on those cement parking things too, T Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Mar 2, 2009, 4:43 PM Post #3 of 3 (2653 views) Re: p/s pulley failure Sign In I've had two Cadillacs come in with P/S pulley failures in the past month. Funny, how things go in 'spurts'. Both had the plastic/phenolic pulleys pressed onto metal hubs. The pulleys had spun on the hubs. Replaced the pulleys, no comebacks. So far.
