Steeda UDPs Shredding Belt?

I installed Steeda underdrive pulleys about 18,000 miles ago, and I recently started getting belt squeaking. Turns out the crank pulley is shredding the belt. Has anyone else had this problem? What could cause this? My car (and belt) has about 37,000 miles on it. I replaced the belt, but I am afraid I am just going to have this problem down the road.

Where is the belt shredding? is it on the edges? if so the pullies are not alligned correctly. could also be a bent pully.

Since itbegan recently I suspect something must have loosened or was jarred.Shredding belts is typical of misalignment and a bent pullysurely throughs the alignment out. Also, if you over tensioned the belts you may have bent one of the pulley shafts over time.

The pulleys aren't aligned properly more than likely, maybe caused by something that came loose??+1 on NUKE'S input. I know at work, when I have a drive motor with a pulley system, that does not have either the driven or the drive pulley aligned, it eats the the belt to hell, v-belts or timing belts.
