On a 4.0 SOHC if the tensioner is shot, suspect the plastic guides to be in need of servicing also. The car is about 20 years old. Problem with the 4.0 is the front tensioner and related parts can be changed while the engine is in the vehicle. Unfortunately there is a chain and tensioner for the other side. It is in the rear and the engine has to be removed from the vehicle to service.
