I had a similar issue with a broken alternator mounting bolt on the 2ZR--sheared off at the nut and allowed the alternator to sit a little crooked. Started throwing belts when I got on the gas. If the bolt is bent inside the mounting boss, you may have to pull the bumper cover and radiators out to get at it.

We need pictures! Maybe you can shave the area flat and shim it to make up the space.
