Power steering pulley ( how much play)

[commodoredave]

VT II, V6, no trbo or SC.
The PSU pulley ( in the engine bay one hand either side of pulley rocking side to side)
should have some play but how much is normal and how much play suggests a worn bearing.
PSU has done about 80k, kms.

All the bolts on & tight?

Doubt it’s bearings at that kms.
Simply take it up a little.

There should be no rock or side play in the PS pump pulley/shaft. There might be a little bit of movement in the shaft in and out
