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

 

someone here has a spare im sure....

check with fritz or tom

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

^This is reverse threaded

^the smaller distal end of this bolt is also reverse threaded.

 

Thanks for sorting that confusion out haha. So I just need what is referred to as "alternator tensioner" parts then, got it!
