i notice a wobble coming from the power steering pump pulley. im not 100% sure if its the pulley, or the shaft, but im leaning very heavily towards the pulley. looks like it moves about 1/8" from true.

 

would there be any risks with continuing to use this pulley?

Not too much risk, but you should fix it before you throw a belt or cause more damage to the P/S pump.

 

The pulley spokes are weaker than the P/S shaft and if it's wobbling it most likely caused by a distorted pulley (not too uncommon). Find yourself a pulley at the local junkyard and replace; easiest fix. If you're good with a small hammer, you might be able to straighten out the pulley. Just make sure there's no wobble in the shaft first....rare, but not impossible.
