Default What is this bolt by the belts in the GTS engine?

Just wondering what this bolt is and if it is loose and needs to be tightened...

Thanks!

Looks to be the adjustment screw for belt tension.

+1.

Make sure to tight its lock nut once the belt tension is adjusted.

It's the tension adjustment for the power steering pump/belt.

The bolt should be snug and the nut at the bottom should be tight.

It is not as big a deal as one might think if it's loose.
There are three bolts that lock the P/S into place when the tension is set. As long as those three are tight, it won't go anywhere.

But it should be tight.
