Multiple Bolt Snaps Belt Tensioner Pulley
I have a strange issue with my 06 Honda Odyssey. My bolt for the serpentine belt tensioner has broken off in the block for the third time. Getting the bolt out isn't the issue, although a pita. After purchase, 200-500 miles later the first break happens, I replaced the bolt. It broke again after 200-300 miles. After the second break, I replace the tensioner. The bolt broke again after 200-300 miles. So obviously, there is a problem somewhere else. I did some investigating and found out that before I bought it, the power steering pump was leaking and repaired by a mechanic/shop. I'm not sure if the power steering pump was replaced. I assume so. That piqued my interest though because all 3 breaks happened in reverse at very low speeds while turning the wheel. It all points back to the power steering pump repair. Has anybody out there seen anything like this? What could the mechanic of done to cause this or is the pump failing somehow, idk? btw the belt didn't break and it ran perfectly between bolt breaks.
