Drive Belt Tensioner

[J T]

Hi,
I would like to know where to buy a new drive belt tensioner for an 87 turbo regal.
This piece has 3 bolts.
I did not see them listed on kirbans site.
Rockland auto does not have them as of now,they said they might get them but they are not sure.
Highway stars has them for $279.
Most auto parts stores I called do not even know what the part is and or do not have them.
I found serpentine belts and idler pulleys but no tensioner.
I did not even check car dealers because the price for a tensioner most likely will be sky high if they have them.
Thanks for any help.

I picked up a used one at an event last april for around 30$. If it is a bearing issue with tensioner you may be able to replace just the bearing. I haven't tried to remove it yet. Check for someone parting out a car or upgrading....
