To adjust the loose alternator belt on your 1986 Chrysler LeBaron convertible with a 2.2L engine, first locate the alternator, which is mounted on the engine. Loosen the mounting bolts on the alternator and the adjusting bolt to allow movement. Adjust the alternator to achieve the proper tension on the belt—generally, you should be able to press the belt down about half an inch at the midpoint. Once the desired tension is achieved, tighten the bolts securely to hold the alternator in place.
