I have an 88 Yj with the three belt set up. It has ac. The bearing on the tensioner has disenigrated. It is not a spring loaded tensioner. Does anyone know where to find one? Is it possible to change to a serpentine system? Thank you in advance for the help.

You are absolutely right, my apologies. It is a 258 4.2l. Yes it is the same idler in the diagram. There is a bearing that the pulley rides on and that is the part I need to find out how to obtain.
Thank you.

and you can switch to a serpentine belt system because my 87 yj had a serpentine from the factory. since yours doesn;t, I think you have an aftermarket ac system because the stock one had the serpentine belt. to swap, your water pump has to be changed because the serpentine one turns the opposite direction
