New Alternator Belt/Q about kingpin

Hi All,

I am trying to find an alternator belt. I can't see one on the bigjimny webshop, only the PAS belts.
I'm looking on eurocarparts, but the belts they are suggesting don't match up with the code on the wiki page: 4PK 835. Can anyone advise please?

My kingpin bearing has also gone, so need that replacing. Should I just do both sides even though on the drivers side has failed? I'm looking at this kit , do I need anything else while I am ordering?

Thanks!
Cerys

Yes, buy that kit. those bearings and parts have good fitment, high quality. And the bearings got the small rubber part that seal it a bit better, cheap alternatives may not.

Funny: A friend of mine did a LJ80 king pin this weekend, same bearings on king pin from Jimny gen 1 and thru gen 3

@abu Thanks, yes I've been on there. That's where I've got the part number from. It's just that eurocarparts is suggesting that part doesn't fit mine, so I'm a bit confused about it.

@yakuza thanks for confirming. And is that all I need? aside from oils and grease.

Oh sorry bout that, the guy did explain to me, I think the first bit of the number corresponds to how many ridges are on it - usually three or four and the other bit is the length, I was told if the length is just a bit out no bother as the tensioner will take it up but I'd double check this with someone more knowledgable than me before going for it:)

Yes I've read the same. I can get hold of a 4PK836, and to me I'm thinking what's 1mm? but I'm no mechanic haha
