Just checked the fan and there is a lil amount of play in it, but to be completely honest the belts a the correct size, so id say yes there correct one, but the power steering side v belts seems 3x's more rigid than the alternator side v belt, and yes I have a few times now, I have the Power Steering belt pretty much as tight as I could get it. bout a 1/2 inch of play up and down. If I let it be any less, the belt squeals like a pig with the slightest turn. Now as for the pulley alignment, I dont know how to Correctly check that, by eye it looks good and straight.
