Bad P/* pump causing premature death of */C Tensioners?
Well i know my power steering pump is bad, it grumbles enought to drag the engine RPMS down, my new */C tensioner that i had replaced on warranty last Friday is already clunking around BADLY...the previous two only lasted about a month each..
so im assuming that my bad P/* may be the third party causing this problem
But the thing that gets me is they are on two compleatly diffrent drive belts...AND when the */C belt was off i manually turned the pulley, i can feel something in there moving but by all means it is not hard to turn nor does it make any bad noises, and I havent used my A/C in a few months so basically that pulley just free wheels.
Any ideas?

hmm, i guess i will start with getting a PS pump at some point, being as i need to replace that, and go from there, but wouldnt it most likley be an accessory running on the */C'* belt?
