Default Mis-aligned PS pulley

I've been hearing some squealing on my belts lately. They all seemed tight every time I've checked them then I noticed my power steering pulley looks a little crooked.
Never found anything to re-align the pulley. Is there probably a bent bracket here?

You don't mention your model? It's pretty hard to bend the brackets on the 240s as they are cast aluminum. How are the rubber mounts? They wear out and can cause alignment issues.

Yea sorry it's an 86 240. The rubber bushings make sense. 30yr old rubber and all.

yewah, the generator rubber bushings are a regular wear item, when they wear out, the generator gets sligthly angled, and eats belts. poly bushings, as sold by ipdusa.com and others, will last a lot longer.

I happened to have an extra rubber bushing. But I couldn't get the old one. Temps hovering around zero might be contributing. So I just shimmed it up with a washer to get me through the winter.
