What does a belt drive tensioner do?

A belt drive tensioner keeps the accessory drive belt at the correct tightness. This is important to prevent the belt from slipping, which can cause noise and stop your alternator, power steering, or AC from working correctly.

Does this tensioner assembly come with a new belt?

This product is the tensioner assembly only. It does not include a new drive belt. You will need to purchase the belt separately if yours is also worn out.

Is this a difficult part to install?

This tensioner assembly is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should bolt into the factory location. However, accessing the tensioner can vary by vehicle, and it's always recommended to refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult a professional mechanic for installation.
