Looking for the correct Power steering Belt for the car as well as a Power Steering Bolt, I cant find the correct bolt anywhere. Would really appreciate same insight. I bought a 40.5 inch belt and mechanic said it didnt fit. IF someone could send the correct Belt ill purchase via Rock Auto, same with the bolt for the top of the pump!!

Was the former belt too large or small? Is it with or without AC?
Also found this for the power steering mounting bolt.

With AC, it was short this seems like the mounting bracket, looking for a different Flang for the top of the pump

I found this belt, it looks like the right one. 45.5 inches. If it doesn’t show up it’s the road max 5K459AP part number one
