What are the key specifications and why do they matter?

Understanding the tensioner’s dimensions and construction helps you confirm fit and performance. This unit features a single pulley built for serpentine belts and has measured bearing and diameter specs to match OE geometry and belt wrap.

• Pulley quantity: 1 — replaces single-pulley tensioner assemblies
• Belt type: serpentine — compatible with modern multi-rib belts
• Outside diameter: 79 mm; bearing bore ID: 17 mm; width: 29.5 mm — ensure pulley alignment and proper belt contact
• Sealed bearing and durable arm construction for corrosion resistance and consistent tension

How does this part affect day-to-day driving and maintenance?

A healthy tensioner keeps serpentine belts under correct tension, which stabilizes alternator and accessory operation and reduces audible belt noise. Replacing a worn tensioner prevents belt slippage and uneven wear that can lead to accessory failures or roadside breakdowns.

• Restores correct tension to extend belt and accessory life
• Reduces squeal and chirp caused by loose or misaligned belts
• Simple swap for mechanics and DIYers when matched to listed fitments
• Backed by a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee from A-Premium
