Hi everyone,

I have a Jeep Cherokee xj 94 Sport Auto with A/C

The threat of my bracket broke and pulley went out. Pulley still intact and luckily belt too.

Now I'm chasing that bracket but COULD NOT FIND everywhere...








Maybe I must looking the wrong part number or so but here what I found.. part number: 5300 6548






on diagram looks like pretty much the same, however when I try to find online I find completely a different one.


Thanks for your help 🙂

 

i'm pretty sure, when i ordered that idler pulley, it came with the bracket. but that was a long time ago.

 

maybe hit your local junkyard just to hold you over. here, that part would be about 20 bucks at pull a part

 

You do not have an ac compressor...and that tensioner is unfamiliar. I had a 92/96/01 and none had that auto-tensioner. I had the compressor removed on some and had the bypass bracket installed but it was only a pulley

 

My car has air conditioning, you see that unusual part because it is an Australian model imported in 94... ​​​​​​I'm struggling to find that part because the fan generally comes with that bracket which is the left drive side, my car has the right drive side, and fan on the left side. on the diagram we can see the fan bolts, and if you look on my photos there's no this part.(because this comes on the left side )

​​​​​​

The tensioner come as a separate part on the top of that bracket with 4 bolts, it can be easily replaced with an-auto-tensioner (makes live easier when changing belt)

Already checked, called all the wreckers and Jeep parts around but no chance!!


I believe I will have to make a DIY thing, perhaps cut the broken part and put some washes to align the pulleys...

 

Try www.car-part.com; found a couple RHD 94s when I searched for the dash panel...

Also, check out the YJ bracket; looks darn close...

 

Obviously you are correct...your RHD does not match up at all with our LHD models...so i have nothing you could use. Possibly you could use a bigger idler pulley on your tensioner...my ac bypass pulley is twice as big and it looks like it will fit then you might be able to skip your broken pulley completely. I can hunt down the part number if you need it but it might allow you to use the original belt and still maintain good contact angles on the water pump pulley. Let me know

 

Do you still have the piece?

My alternator bracket broke in a similar fashion when I swapped out a dead alt. I had the piece but couldn't find an usable bracket anywhere. I ended up coating the bolt with wax (as a release agent), screwing the bolt in, and using some JB Weld to put the piece back on. Clamped it tight. After about 20 minutes, I backed the bolt out (since the JB weld had not fully cured). The next day, released the clamp and ran a tap through the hole. A year later, it's still holding.

 

I have exported parts to both USA and Europe (not Jeep parts, I import them from USA at half local price)

Postage for that item would be about $US90

Normally Parts I sell cost less than the postage !

try the Aus forum or wreckers if ur serious

I do not have that part for sale

1994 is the 1st year XJ came into Oz

 

There is also the repair route.

Alumaloy. "Remember, it melts at just 728 degrees and is stronger than the base metal." You can grind it, drill it, tap it, machine it. CLEAN the part and use a propane torch.

(That is the kind of degrees used to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to the Earth.)

 

What actually goes or bolts to that broken bracket
