What is the function of a serpentine belt tensioner?

The serpentine belt tensioner's job is to maintain the correct tension on the accessory drive belt. This ensures that all the components driven by the belt, like the alternator and power steering pump, operate efficiently.

When should I consider replacing my belt tensioner?

You should consider replacing the tensioner if you hear chirping or slapping noises from the belt area, or if the belt appears to be loose or is vibrating excessively. It's also common practice to replace the tensioner when you replace the serpentine belt, especially if the vehicle has high mileage.

Does this tensioner assembly come with a new belt?

This part is the tensioner assembly only, which includes the tensioner arm and pulley. A new serpentine belt is not included and would need to be purchased separately if required.

Product Details

When your accessory drive belt starts to get noisy or you're replacing the belt itself, it's a good time to check the tensioner assembly. This Gates tensioner assembly is built to keep the proper tension on your serpentine belt, which drives everything from your alternator to your power steering pump and A/C compressor. A worn-out tensioner can lead to a flapping belt, noise, and eventually, a loss of accessory function. This part is designed to fit a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including models like the Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Kia Sorento.

Gates has a reputation for making well-built belt drive components, and this tensioner assembly is no exception. It's constructed to meet the original equipment specifications, ensuring it will function correctly and last. The assembly includes the tensioner arm and pulley, designed to provide consistent tension throughout its lifespan. Replacing the tensioner along with the belt is a common practice to avoid having to do the job twice if the old tensioner fails shortly after a new belt is installed.
