serpentine belt tensioner

[autumnskye08]

Can anyone tell me where the belt tensioner is located for the serpentine belt in a 1999 Voyager 3.0L V6? The bottom of my power steering pump is rusted out and I am thinking of changing it myself.

I would suggest picking up a Hayes repair manual from an autoparts store. The tensioner is easy to replace (one bolt). You should slide the Alternator out of the way to give yourself more room. The power steering on the other hand is more difficult. Unbolting is easy, but the suspension and steering linkage creates a problem for getting the pump out. You have have enough room if you go from underneath and slide the pump up and out through the opening near the passenger footwell.

good luck.

Thanks Evictor, but it looks like I may not have to go that far. I only had two pinholes in the rusted out area of the bottom of the power steering pump and I decided to try some JB's Weld last night. It appears to have worked - that stuff is great!
