What does a belt drive tensioner do?

The tensioner assembly keeps the accessory drive belt at the correct tightness. This prevents the belt from slipping on the pulleys, which ensures that components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor operate correctly.

Should I replace the belt at the same time as the tensioner?

Yes, it's generally recommended to replace the drive belt when you replace the tensioner. Belts wear out over time, and installing a new tensioner with an old belt can put extra stress on the new part or lead to premature belt failure.

Does this tensioner assembly come with the drive belt?

No, this part number is for the belt drive tensioner assembly only. The accessory drive belt is sold separately.

Product Details

This is a Gates belt drive tensioner assembly for a range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, including models like the Ford Focus, Escape, and Taurus. The tensioner's job is to keep the accessory drive belt at the correct tightness. When a tensioner wears out, the belt can slip, leading to issues like a noisy belt, poor performance from accessories like the alternator or power steering pump, or even the belt coming off entirely.

Gates makes well-built components, and this tensioner assembly is designed to meet the original equipment specifications for your vehicle. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it should fit right into place without needing modifications. Keeping the belt properly tensioned ensures all your engine's accessories run smoothly and efficiently, which is crucial for the overall operation of your vehicle.

When you're replacing your drive belt, it's often a good idea to replace the tensioner at the same time. This assembly includes the tensioner arm and pulley, ready to be installed as a unit.
