Litens is the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this part and offers this “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket. This popular tensioner was designed for the V-6 Pentastar Chrysler engines, looks, fits, and performs as the original part being replaced. “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 does not have the OE P/N on the part but it is identical in every way. Like the original design, this tensioner was designed with an “Active Pivot”. It has two springs, one for damping control that puts axial force on the damping bushing which enables the part to maintain continued constant damping throughout the useful life of the part and the other for torque output. The pulley for this part was also designed to the strictest roundness tolerances requiring a proprietary molding technique developed by Litens. The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring and are marked “Made in Canada”. The internal damping design provides quiet, smooth, system performance. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products.
