I own a 2002 Camaro SS, 6 spd manual trans, with only 17,000 miles and my power steering pump pulley came completely off while I was driving at about 45 mph, consequently throwing the serpentine belt. The pump spline was fine and I could turn it by hand freely so I ruled out that the power steering pump had frozen or spline had broken. Alternator and tensioner pulley also not frozen.
Have any of you ever heard of or experienced this. Any advice on preventing this again. Thank you.
