What does a serpentine belt tensioner do?

The tensioner assembly keeps the serpentine belt snug against the pulleys. This ensures that components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor receive consistent power from the engine.

What are the signs of a failing tensioner?

Common signs include a chirping or squealing noise coming from the front of the engine, especially on startup or when accessories are engaged. You might also notice excessive belt vibration or premature belt wear.

Does this tensioner assembly come with a new belt?

This part is the tensioner assembly only. It does not include the serpentine belt itself. It is recommended to inspect your belt for wear and replace it if necessary when installing a new tensioner.
