Is this what you speak of? If so it's called an idler pulley tension bolt assembly.

because simply adding a spring operated tensioner would be far too complicated for chrysler.

You're in Australia? Right hand drive?

If so, it's details like this we need to know...not many RHD users on the site, not a popular rig here in the states.

Also, the little block with the holes in it, in both links, is what the idler pulley bolts into. It has 2 holes, one to adjust the tension, the other to bolt the pulley into. You adjust the tension, then tighten the pulley bolt, that locks it in place.
