This might should just be in maintenance...
I've now broken two or three alternator tensioner brackets. I'm trying to figure out why.

These blue poly bushings have been on the car since I bought it.

I haven't had any issues with the other accessory tensioner brackets. Do these blue bushings have anything to do with it, or do you figure it's a combination of age, fatigue, and bad luck? Too much tension? I doubt that I have the belt too tight, but maybe?
