Keep in mind that this is a Rare Instance of PS Pulley coming in contact with Sub Frame.
but regardless of any contact.....the Belts don't just rip.....they shread.....and that is the nature of the beast.
at 135K Miles.....change the Belt, Tensioner, and Both Upper and Lower Pulley regardless.
as for inspection of any contact play.
get your hand somehow to the PS Pulley.
and feel the inside and outside for any notches.
option 2, take it to a shop on a hoist and take belley pan off and have mechanic inspect it both sub frame and PS Pulley.
