Presently, an increasing number of new vehicles are using automatic belt tensioners. Tensioners, just like other parts such as timing belts are wear and tear items which would require replacement over time. Replacing the automatic tensioner along with the serpentine belt and timing belt when it is due would be a most sensible choice as this lowers overall labour costs and also reduces the need for repeated visits to the workshop. Gates DriveAlignTM Automatic Tensioners offers a high quality construction and installs exactly like the OE part. Other brands that claim a "universal fit" may cost you your valuable customers when they don't fit properly or fail to perform to expectations.

Special Product Features:

• Unique damping mechanism prolongs tensioner life as well as proper function of drive as a whole.
• Reduced high frequency rotational variations as well as belt noise.
• Patented round spring design provides an even rotational load and offers better resistance to compressive forces.
• Unique sealing eliminates the risk of contamination and corrosion.
