The Hydraulic Alternator Belt Tensioner is exposed to a lot of dirt, salt, and other debris due to its front lower location. This can cause the tensioner to seize and not allow the belt tensioner to adjust. Replace your belt tensioner with this OEM high quality hydraulic tensioner for many years of reliable operation to come.
