What is your question?
So my power steering pump and hose were replaced along with my power steering pump pulley. The pulley was warped and I had some leaking in the pump and hose. Thats why they were replaced. Three days later a shaking sound occurs. My pulley is busted! The inner ring area is gone. We figure we had gotten a defective "new" power steering pump but are there any other possibilities like poor installation?

However I would look more towards an improper installation… Over or under torqueing is the most common cause for pulley failure.. TIGHTENING SPECIFICATIONS Bracket: 14 - 18 Nm (10 - 13 ft. lbs.)
