So quick question, i'm having a very tough time actually getting either a) replacement parts or b) a viable alternative. I am looking for the 2 bolts and 1 nut that make up the "tensioner"/"adjuster" setup that sits on the bracket next to the alternator, that allows you to adjust the tension on the drive belt. Mine vibrated off the car during driving a few weeks ago, and I've had a hell of a time trying to get a viable fix. I tried the dealership, and multiple times they have given me a bolt with left-hand threading in the bolt head (where the long bolt threads into from the top of the bracket), and a regular threaded tensioner/adjuster bolt. I have a makeshift dorman kit i have in there at the moment with the drilled holes, but they don't line up and I can tell it won't last any serious amount of drive time without coming loose.

For reference, it's what would go here:


also FWIW i'm not even 100% sure of the name; ive seen them called idler pulley tensioners, and drive belt adjustment bolts. no idea

The thread title says "idler pulley". These are the idler tensioner components, but your's appears to still be there.

^This is reverse threaded
