ok so i have an issue in regards to the power steering belt. every time the engine revs above 3000 rpm the belt itself turns itself inside out. does anyone have a solution i am willing to pray to the car gods atm. i have replaced the tensioner pully has a good balencer on it and have swapped out the pwr steer pump. i am at my witts end here.

i have not measured it but seems good just eyeballing it it has been fine for a long time. but it snapped a belt which was ancient btw and i replaced it and it has eaten 5 belts just by flipping them upside down there not over or undertight either.
