Source for power steering delete tensioner
So, while I was a googlin' I did find myself staring at a brand new Mazda 1.8L power steering delete pulley. Now, most of you know that part number BP01-15-930 has been discontinued and marked NLA. But did you know that the 94-97 Kia Sephia could come with A/C and without P/S as an option? The part number is 0K201-15-930, and my local dealer told me it was available as a special order at $80 something list. It looks like it is available from most Kia Parts Direct-type web stores at around ~$65. I didn't want to shim my A/C compressor, and now I don't have to.

I only needed to shim two of the bolts. Depending upon washer thickness, four is a lot of additional tension. You'll see when you do it. Just like with the alternator belt, it only needs to be as tight as necessary to eliminate slippage. Too much tension will load the front main bearing to one side when tightening either of the belts and create excess wear and drag.

This is a dealer part number. Aftermarket interchange numbers will only consist of the pulley with bearing, as 90% of the time that's all that needs to be replaced. Only the dealer (or online dealer store) will have the whole assembly.

Good point. I just talked to a dealer's parts dept and they said the same thing. Has anyone come across a good website to get this whole assembly for less than the $96 my local dealer wants to rob me of? Most website I'm seeing don't really specify whether or not it's the pulley only or the whole assembly.
