2009 Suzuki Equator Belt Tensioners

The Dayco automatic belt tensioner features Dayco’s original, patented flat spring design to provide less operating range variation. It reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension and lessens the risk of belt noise and slippage or poor performance caused by low tension. A PTFE string wound within the spring resists abrasion and dampens noise. Dayco’s tensioner is also designed with a heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case and arm, which helps resist cracking and fatigue and offers additional strength, lessening the risk of distortion. Additional premium thermoplastic rubber spring slot plugs and rubber O-ring seals help keep contaminants out and zinc coated mounting bolts resist rust.

Product Features:

• Features a steel pivot tube on specific designs for enhanced stability
• Built to outperform and outlast competitive OE parts
• This tensioner is another Dayco product proudly made in the USA

This Litens tensioner is manufactured by the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this popular tensioner used in both Nissan and Suzuki vehicles. This “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket meets all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications. *(O.E. Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design). This tensioner is equipped with a Steel pulley, an integrated lift feature to assist in belt removal and installation and a belt stretch indicator to monitor proper belt length. As with the O.E. part, this tensioner is manufactured in Canada for exact performance and fit. Note: Nissan issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on this drive addressing morning start-up chirping or squealing noise. They recommended changing the belt and tensioner to resolve the issue. The Litens tensioner is the upgraded version. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products.

Product Features:

• Manufactured by the original equipment part supplier to ensure proper form, fit, and performance.
• Internal “round spring” technology to provide constant belt tension and alignment throughout its service life.
• Installation instructions included.
• Heavy Duty Steel Pulley with close tolerance ball bearing pocket and Electro-deposited coating for superior corrosion resistance
• Professional Mechanics will change this tensioner in approx. 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Accessory drive belts and tensioners are manufactured with similar design life targets. Since belt removal is required to change the tensioner, replacing both will extend the system service life and lower labor costs versus individual replacement.
