about the pullies speed while rotating

hey guys i just wanted to know if the speed of the far right pully located on teh bracket , ( THE ONE ABOVE THE A/C COMPRESSOR) is it just me or does it seem to rotate a lot more than the smaller pully to its left?... it seems like the middle part of the left small pullie doesnt move just the outside but on the bigger pully it moves really fast.. i changed belts but still it seems to turn too fast.

You mean the power steering pulley? Dude...not all pulley's operate at the same rotation.

It should be fine as long as the belt isn't on too loose. Check the deflection on each belt.

Yeah, they don't all rotate at the same speed. If its being driven by a larger pulley, it will spin faster than if it was being driven by a smaller pulley. Its all about gear ratios.
