RE: Belt problem
 

Last week I posted here about the part that the serpentine belt
adjustment screw threads into, under the power steering pump. This was
on my 91 XJ.

If anyone ever needs one of these, the part in question is Mopar part
#53002915 described as a "collar, adjustment".

Anyway, the dealer got it in one day. $4.73 plus tax. Fortunately, I
didn't have to buy an entire power steering pump bracket!

We're back on the road, with a new belt just for good measure.

Regards,

DAve

Re: Belt problem
 

Thanks Dave, for telling us, I thought the difficult part may be
unscrewing the broken bolt, but you didn't apparently have that problem.

Re: Belt problem
 

Actually the adjustment bolt was fine. The collar broke where the cross
bolt goes through it. I couldn't figure out why things were so loose,
and I finally stuck my finger up there and came back with a small chunk
of metal!

That was a nasty couple of days here in LA. Supermarkets on strike, bus
drivers on strike, me with no car!

Now, it seems everything is on fire!

Regards,

DAve
