About this part

Product Details

The spring-loaded mechanism within this Gates serpentine belt tensioner assembly is designed to maintain the correct tension on your 3.0L V-6 engine's accessory drive belt. Over time, the original tensioner can weaken or seize, leading to belt slippage, noise, and potentially affecting the performance of components like the alternator or power steering pump.

This tensioner assembly from Gates is built to meet the original equipment specifications for your 1996-2000 Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable. It features a durable spring that consistently applies pressure to the belt, ensuring it stays properly seated on the pulleys. Replacing a worn tensioner is a straightforward job that can prevent premature belt wear and ensure all your accessories run smoothly.
