i was wondering if anyone had a link or could just tell me, is the tensioner under the alternator in a st the tensioner for all the belts? i have the 3s-fe and wanted to replace all the belts. i know the waterpump and alternator belt use the alternator tensionor, but i wasnt sure if that would loosen the other two to replace, or if there was another tensioner for the power steering one

The power steering assembly is the tensioner for the power steering pump. You have to loosen it from underneath the car.
Easier to remove the wheel first, then you should be able to see better too. -------------------- |

If youre looking in the passenger wheel well it is to the left of the crankshaft pulley. You have to loosen the center bolt, I think its a 17mm or 19mm. Then you have loosen the tensioner bolt

There's only 2 belts. Unless you count the timing belt...

on the ST there are 3 belts...
main goes around crank, alt, water pump. 2nd goes around water pump and power steering 3rd goes around crank, tensioner and A/C compressor. oh and the tensioner under the alt is the tensioner for the A/C belt. -------------------- |
