Belt tensioner mounting bolt / stud for 2.4

Bkspear · Mar 15, 2021

I was replacing the belt tensioner on my 2003 TJ with the 2.4L engine and the mounting stud/bolt snapped. I have not been able to find a part number or replacement anywhere online. Can anyone please provide a part number or suggestions where to get a replacement. Without the bolt I cant install the new tensioner , without the tensioner I can install the belt, and without the belt I am dead in the water here. Photos attached of the hole where the stud/bolt screwed into. Thanks.
Bryan.

Download the PDF for the Technical Documentation of your year TJ and the information should be there.

Nope, never did find just the part I needed. I ended up finding a spare bolt I had laying around that just fit in its place.

Sorry to dig up old thread... I just put a new tensioner on.. Why do they use a stud like that which doesn't seat inside the engine? It was a little weird to partly thread it into the block, then nut on the tensioner. It seems fine but was just curious why they do that.

Ps- is that bolt tightened to 105in/lbs for a 2.4l? I saw the link here with specs, but it doesn't list it afaik (just the bolts on the tensioner itself, not connecting to block). https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/jeep-wrangler-tj-torque-specs-1997-2006.16906/
