I'm going to assume you have either a four cyl or an inline 6cyl...The tension is provided at the power steering pump. Loosen the fasteners and look underneath. There is a "jack bolt" that is just under the pump that faces the left fender. Screwing it in or out moves the pump and adjusts belt tension.

With belt replacement is there a certain component i can move up down left or right to properly install new belt
Yes. Under the power steering pump you will see an idler pulley. Loosen the center bolt and also loosen the visible transverse bolt that goes to it. loosening that will allow the pulley to slide so you can either remove the old belt or tighten the new one. Pretty sure the bolts are both 15mm. Use an open end on the pulley and a socket, extension and ratchet for the jack bolt.

Can't find serpentine belt tensioner on 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee
right, for the 4 liter,
  1. Loosen the rear power steering pump mounting bolts using a ratchet and 13mm socket or a 13mm box wrench.
  2. Loosen the pump upper pivot bolt, lower locknut and the pump adjusting bolt using a ratchet and 13mm socket or a 13mm box wrench.
For the V8
  1. Attach a socket or wrench to the pulley mounting bolt on the automatic tensioner and rotate the tensioner assembly clockwise until the tension has been removed from the belt.
  2. Remove the belt from the idler pulley first and then from the vehicle.

Looking for a belt tensioner for a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country. Where would I look? Perhaps I am not calling it by its correct name as no one can even guess what I am looking for...Thanks!
Do you mean the tensioner pulley?

Then, I would look for something with a 1/2" square hole in a pivoting spring loaded pulley that is designed to put 'tension' on the serpentine belt.

Depending on the engine, it can be located in various positions.

How To Change A Fan Belt On A Jeep cherokee 96
That depends on which engine you have. On v8 engines you need to put a wrench on the tensioner pulley and pull it over. On six cyl and four cyl engines there is an adjustment bolt on the power steering pump. Loosen the pump slide bolts and turn the adjustment bolt that moves the pump in and out of adjustment. (bolt runs under the pump...long threaded rod with a bolt head)

How do I release the tension on the belt to remove and replace the alternator on a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
Very simple....just loosen the mount bolt on the pivot arm and adjusting bolts....the bolts that mount the alternator....the slack will allow you to remove the alternator....installation....bolt on your replacement alternator and place your belt on the pulley. Pull on the alternator to give it tension and then tighten bolts at the same time...have an extra set of hands for this.

How do i replace the serpentine belt on my 2000 jeep cherokee with air conditioning.
There is a tensioner pulley on the drivers top side of the engine. Loosen the bolt on the pulley about a turn or so (I believe it's 15mm). Then loosen the adjusting bolt above the pulley until tension is off the belt. Remove the belt and route the new belt in the same manner the old one was. There should be a diagram under the hood showing the routing. If not, draw a quick one up before removing the old belt. Tighten the adjusting bolt until there is sufficient tension on the belt and lock down the pulley bolt.

I need to replace my serpentine belt. Which
For a 94 Jeep grand cherokee, the tension is controlled through a long bolt on the power steering bracket. The bolt is about 6 inches long, located underneath the power steering on the driver side. Lossen the lockbolt holding it in place, as well as the Power steering attach bolts, and turn the long bolt to tighten/loosen. I believe these are all 13 mm bolts.

Surpintine belt loosen bolts 93 grand cherookee jeep 4.0?
Your request is a bit unclear but if you need to remove the serp belt, the power steering pump has two attachment bolts the lower one is the slide adjustment, the upper one is the pivot bolt. You don't have a tensioner on there, tension is set by sliding the pump.
