Gates 03-06 Lancer Evolution DriveAlign Automatic Belt Tensioner

When you're replacing the accessory drive belt on your 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, it's a good time to check the automatic belt tensioner. This Gates DriveAlign tensioner is built to keep the correct tension on your belt, ensuring your alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor all operate as they should. A worn-out tensioner can lead to a noisy belt, or worse, belt slippage that can cause charging system issues or loss of power steering.

Gates has been making belts and tensioners for a long time, and this DriveAlign unit is designed to be a direct replacement for your original equipment. It uses a spring mechanism that automatically adjusts to maintain the proper belt tension as the belt wears or as temperatures change. This helps prevent premature belt wear and ensures consistent performance from the accessories driven by the belt. It's a well-built part that fits right, so you can get your Lancer back on the road with confidence.
