What does a belt tensioner do?

A belt tensioner keeps your accessory drive belt at the correct tightness. This ensures components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor receive proper power from the engine.

Why is a hydraulic actuator important on this tensioner?

The hydraulic actuator automatically adjusts the belt tension as the belt heats up and expands or cools and contracts. This maintains consistent tension, preventing belt slippage and reducing wear on the belt and pulley bearings.

Does this tensioner come with the drive belt?

This product is for the belt tensioner assembly only. The accessory drive belt is sold separately, and it's recommended to replace it if it shows signs of wear or age when installing a new tensioner.
