The dealership. Just ask for a new tensioner pulley and you gett everything you need. I don't think it is all that expensive either, maybe like $20-$30.

why spend more than you need? just ask for a new nut and bolt for me the nut was like 12$ and bolt like 6$.. price varies tho. while your down there you might as well replace the belt too.. its only ~10$ and 5 mins away

THanks Everyone!!

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for the advice! I went the dealer and asked for the pully thing, and they wanted $110.00 so I just asked for the nut part that screws down, and she ordered it for $17.00!! so that saved me a lot!
Thanks again! you are all very smart!
