Gates 01-05 Dodge Stratus 4-Cyl. 2.4L Tensioner Pulley Belt Drive Pulley

When you're replacing the serpentine belt on your 1999-2005 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Mitsubishi Eclipse, or Galant, it's a good time to check the tensioner pulley. This pulley is crucial for maintaining the correct tension on the belt, ensuring all your accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor run as they should. A worn or seized tensioner pulley can cause belt slippage, noise, and premature belt wear, or even lead to the belt coming off entirely.

This tensioner pulley from Gates is a well-built replacement designed to fit a range of vehicles. It's made to handle the constant motion and heat generated by the belt drive system. Replacing it along with the belt is a common practice to avoid having to do the job twice if the old pulley fails shortly after the new belt is installed. You'll want to make sure the mounting bolt is clean and properly torqued according to the manufacturer's specifications when you install it.
