DRIVE BELT TENSIONER

Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this part and offers this upgraded part for the aftermarket. The Litens product meets or exceeds all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications for this Ford/Mercury/Mazda application. Tensioner upgrades include a redesigned steel pivot shaft to improve angularity and a change from steel to a plastic pulley. Unlike most Non-O.E. aftermarket tensioners, the Litens aftermarket tensioner maintains the OE damping system to ensure quiet, long-lasting performance. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring. Supplied with a new mounting bolt. CAUTION: Some non-original equipment manufacturers have consolidated this part with a similar Ford/Mazda tensioner. They provide a spacer sleeve for the bolt and 2 extra bolts to assist in installation. While the part may be mounted on either engine design, the belt drives require different tension values and the nominal tensioner position once the belt is installed may not be correct.
