Gates 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse/DSM 4G63 Turbo / 03-06 Evo 8/IX 4cyl 2.0L Timing Belt Tensioner

When you're tackling a timing belt job on your Mitsubishi Eclipse, Lancer, or other compatible vehicles, this Gates timing belt tensioner is what you need to ensure the belt stays properly adjusted. This part is crucial for keeping your engine's timing precise, which directly impacts performance and longevity. It's designed to work with the 4G63 and other 4-cylinder 2.0L engines found in a wide range of vehicles, including the 1995-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, and 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus.

Gates is a well-known name in belts and related components, and this tensioner is built to meet the demands of keeping your timing belt at the correct tension. Proper tension prevents the belt from slipping or becoming too tight, both of which can cause serious engine damage. This tensioner is a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to fit and function like the original equipment on your vehicle.

Replacing your timing belt tensioner along with the belt itself is a common practice during a timing belt service. This helps ensure that the entire system is fresh and working correctly, giving you peace of mind on the road. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures and torque specifications.
