Hello! The serpentine belt tensioner assembly is mounted on the engine mount plate. None of the fasteners that hold either the pulley or tensioning arm itself are accessible with the mount plate in the vehicle, so it must be removed...Once you have the engine mount plate removed, you may begin to remove the pulley..The pulley is held onto the tensioner by a torx bolt. Once the bolt is removed, the pulley can be lifted right up and off of the shaft it is seated on..See photo below...

35 dollars ?? for the jockey wheel ,i pay around 12 euros plus tax for one of these but i think you mean the whole the spring loaded tensioner as no doubt its making a banging noise but use a stethascope as sometimes this noise can the be the autobox pump and its very difficult to diagnose correctly

How to adjust a tensioner on a 2001 chrysler voyager

You mean your belt tentioner, serpentine belt, it is not adjustable if your belt is coming off you have a bad tentioner, bad pulley or your power stering pump is leaken and your belt is soaked, if oilly firts found your leak (most common is a hose from reservoir to pump) then replace belt with a cheap belt (had lost of trouble with Life time or hi dollar belts), in the mean time also inspect your tentioner if ani play side ways replace it, also remove idle pulley and spun it close to your ear, if any noise replace it, you may get away with a single item changed, but for trouble free time, replace all items: belt tentioner ($38) idle pulley($25) serpentine belt ($25)

Where is belt tensioner and how do you turn it to loosen belt to change

The belt tentioner pully is the idler pully in the serpentine belt system...
You need a long wrnch (11/16??) to fit the pullys center bolt...
Turn the bolt to the right ( righty tighty) and the tentioner will losten its tention on the belt enough to remove the belt...
Imediately replace the belt ... so its routing is not forgotten by time or distraction...
If there is still a sticker on the upper radiator support reflecting the serpintine belt routing.. then you are in a better spot to be doing this ... with distractions...
