Wobbly PS pulley- what's the worst that could happen??
I have a wobbly power steering pump pulley. What's the worst that could happen if I leave it. I plan on pulling it and replacing it soon, so I am asking mostly out of curiosity. I assume it isn't very good for the belt.

You could die....
Well I guess that's not the worst...
You could throw the belt and lose control and crash into a school bus stop and wipe out your best friends kids and then flip the truck and be paralyzed from the neck down so all you could do was lay in the hospital and think about why you didn't fix your stinkin truck!

But really if it's not wobbling too bad I wouldn't worry about it
mine wobbles a bit too

good luck at the junkyards, I ended up getting a pump and pulley after the "deer incident" they would not sell a pulley wihtout a pump.
