82 SW alternator tension arm bushing
Hello, All.
New to this site but a long-time Volvo guy. Just now pulling out the tools and trying to revive a couple of 245s.
I am trying to remedy a won't-stay-on tensioner arm for the alternator that has a nearly dead bushing.
Reading one post about constant shearing of the tensioner arm, I was wondering what the purpose of the bushing was. Is it meant to dampen the sound/vibration? Is it meant to electrically isolate the alternator? Looking to figure out a McGyver fix for the weekend, though I will order bushing when I figure out whether an AC/power steering bushing is the same.
TIA,
Bill

this is the parts catalog for a 1982 240 alternator, shows two bushings with the same part number
(parts #3 and #10)
Tasca shows that part as a generic rubber bushing, in stock, $7.50 list, $5.50 at Tasca...
so you can probably get it from any dealer.
its not to electrically isolate the alternator as the alternator body is grounded, so it must be for mechanical or vibration isolation, probably to dampen vibration from the belt.
