Description of the problem | The pulley that keeps the tension on the fan belt snapped off. A single bolt that holds this snapped in half. We lost the steering and other components all at once. How can something that takes the abuse of a fan/surpentine belt only require one bolt. I found others in your listing that had the very same problems. My parents also had the same problem on the town and country mini van. *ak |
