oNE BOLT MISSING IS A PROBLEM IN ITSELF. And yes if you have a swepentine belt you must have a tebnsioner,. If it's a V belt then no the missing bolt is probably your adjustment point. Good luck

It's spring activated. Look for a pulley at the end of a lever. That's the tensioner pulley. Put a wrench/socket on it and move it away from the belt. Use caution, as I stated, it's spring loaded/activated. That's how it keeps constant pressure on the serpentine belt. Check under the hood for a routing diagram for re-installation. Or draw a quick sketch.
Hope this helped. I wasn't more precise, as I don't know which engine/options you have in it.
SOURCE: when my serpentine belt broke three times the
2002 outback does not have a serpentine belt, It has two drive belts and the power steering pump is on the left side with the alternator. The idler is on the right side which drives the a/c. The power steering belt is adjusted by tightening the alternator, so if only the tensioner was replaced there would be no reason to check the power steering side..
ADJUSTMENT
Excessive belt tension will cause damage to the alternator and water pump pulley bearings, while, on the other hand, loose belt tension will produce slip and premature wear on the belt. Therefore, be sure to adjust the belt tension to the proper level.
To adjust the tension on a drive belt, loosen the adjusting bolt or fixing bolt locknut on the alternator, alternator bracket or tension pulley. Then move the alternator or turn the adjusting bolt to adjust belt tension. Once the desired value is reached, secure the bolt or locknut and recheck tension.
