The vehicle listed above is an LS model. I Need to know the name of a piece on my car. We replaced the serpentine belt and discovered that on the bottom round wheel (pulley) that is to have grooves on it no longer does, it's very smooth. so, I'm told that a part has come off of that the keeps the grooves in that wheel (pulley) (is what I'm being told) for the serpentine belt to have the ability to remain on this wheel it has to have grooves so I'm needing that piece for that wheel (pulley) to put the grooves back into it. What is this called so I can go get one? Please and thank you.

Good morning, RebekahHerndon,

I have added a picture of the belt drive system on your vehicle. Could you take a look at it and tell me which pulley it is you are talking about?

Thank you,
Brendon
