Power steering and everything else on the Cherokee is controlled by a single serpentine belt. On the XJ (non-Grand Cherokee) the belt has a tensioner pully located under the power steering pump. The bolt on the pully must be loosened and then the long adjuster bolt (found on a 45-degree angle towards the middle of the engine) can be easily turned to move the pully and allow for slack to put on a new belt. The belt can only go one way, must touch all pullies. smoth side to smoth pullies and groved side to goroved pullies.
