Bent Alternator Pulley...

[Fiat88]

As discussed in another thread, which I need to update I just changed my timing belt, new water pump and some seals, tensioner bearing. While checking out various components, I noticed that the alternator pulley is kind of warped and when I turn the pulley about a turn and a half it makes a squeak. Also, I noticed that the 3 hole bracket on the old water pump which the water pump pulley attaches to looks kind of slightly bent.

Any ideas of what could be the problem that caused this and what should I replace? THx.

Any thoughts?

Any chance the car was in an accident that pushed the radiator back into the engine????

Not really sure, I know that the PO had the car repainted and body work done. I did notice that the front right side has some frame rail damage, you could have a point about the radiator though as the car has a manual trans. type radiator with a seperate intercooler, my car is an automatic so I know that the original radiator is not there.
