Replacing water pump in jeep cherokee xj 1995 and part that the idler pulley was attached to broke what is this part called? Need to know so i can replace. Thank you!

 

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.

 

It wont let me add a pic but its not the bolt or the pulley
Its the part ​​​the bolt screws into behind the pulley

 

Any chance this is what you are talking about?

no its the bracket it screws onto maybe Alternator Upper Mounting Bracket any one know where to get one from in aus

 

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.

 

Yes right hand drive

 

Can you post a pic of what you're talking about?

 

 

Yeah, okay, now I see...that whole bracket needs replacing. Your best bet will be a local junkyard or part out. Not sure what it's called, as I said, not a lot of RHD guys here. What all is attached to that bracket? AC compressor, alt, and idler?

 

Alternator

 

Alternator behind it and idler pulley attached to it

Looks like all I'm finding is 96 and up...start searching for a RHD alt bracket for your year, haha.
