Here is a diagram that will help you replace the serpentine belt.

The 2.4L in the Stratus coupe has one belt for the water pump and alternator and a second belt for the AC and / or power steering. The first one uses a spring-loaded tensioner pulley so no adjustment is needed.

The Stratus sedan has a belt for the AC and alternator, and a second one for the power steering.

For the belts without spring-loaded tensioners, you need a scanner with a microphone attachment, then you pluck the belt. Tension is adjusted until you get the belt to vibrate at the specified frequency, but they don't tell you how to make the adjustments. I know that information is in the paper service manual.

Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

The info below is for a stratus sedan. If you have two different belts, have to remove tension from power steering pump and or alternator.

V6 and 4 cylinder have same instruction..

Are you trying to replace the belt or the tensioner?

You will need a wrench or ratchet (based on which your vehicle needs). Look at the tensioner and you will see that it is movable. Using a wrench, move the tensioner away from the belt until it is loose enough to remove.

Raise vehicle and remove passenger side wheel.
Remove splash shield.
Locate power steering pulley (towards the firewall).
On the back side of the pulley towards the timing cover, locate and loosen power steering pivot and lock bolts.
Use 1/2" wrench to loosen the tension.
Remove belt

First you have to remove the power steering belt.

To do this, there are three bolts to loosen:

1. Pivot bolt (at top of pump)

2. (You have to raise the vehicle and remove the tire and wheel/splash shield to get access to these bolts)

Loosen the lock bolt at front/bottom of pump and lock bolt at back/bottom of pump.

3. Then you can slide the pump down to loosen the belt.

Next there's a black idler pulley for the serpentine belt. You loosen the bolt directly in the center. Then on the side of the pulley is a long adjusting bolt. You must loosen this until the pulley releases it's tension on the serpentine belt.

You can install the new belts in reverse order.

Three bolts to loosen. First is the pivot bolt from on top. It's just above and forward of the pulley. From underneath, remove the splash shield, then there's a lock bolt just forward of and below the pulley, and one right behind that bolt. Both of those are in slots to allow for adjustment.

There's a 1/2" square hole right above the lock bolt under the pulley to use a 1/2" breaker bar to tighten the new belt.

Is it broke or just making noise worn out?

Does that motor have 1 or 2 belts?
