Litens - Automatic Serpentine Belt Tensioner -Original Equipment Quality (Part No. 999310A)
DescriptionLitens 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 insure 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. Best to always use the Litens original design for proper performance.
Product Features:- Manufactured by the original equipment part supplier to insure 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 Glass Reinforced Polymer Pulley for optimized dimensional control and running surface durability
- Professional Mechanics will change this tensioner in approx. 20 minutes.
- Due to the fact that belts and tensioners have similar Original Equipment "design life targets", it is often a best practice to replace the belt tensioner when replacing a worn or broken belt. Belt removal is required to change the tensioner. Therefore doing both together will extend accessory drive life and lower overall labor versus performing these services separately.

Old unit with 130k miles seemed smooth yet, but pulley/roller was out of line with the belt. A tech told me that the pivot wears out which causes the arm to wear sideways which makes the belt chirp. The clearance to the fan is tight, which makes removal a bit annoying.

Don't just replace the pully! Replace the tensioner!

From GA
I thought it was the pully but after replacing the pully only the chirping came back. It was the tensioner body halves metal on metal rubbing and chirping as the two metal parts wore and came in contact. It was easy to replace, remove the belt, take wheel off, remove bottom tensioner bolt from underside 10mm wrench and the top bolts from the top.

Direct fit and replacement for my 3.8L 1998 Windstar. The job went smooth and fast. Was well pleased my store had this in stock too! (1)Released serpentine belt with and angled bar behind the tensioner arm, (2) removed bolt from tensioner with 18mm wrench and pipe for leverage, (3) Pulled old tensioner out, had to twist and turn because of tight quarters, (4) Wiggled new one in and bolted it on, (5) Replaced belt and done!

Not suitable for use on 1996 Windstar
Not suitable for use on 1996 Windstar
Submitted 2010-11-18
By Terry
From Quincy, IL
On the 1996 Windstar there is very little clearance between the tensioner pulley and the fender chassis. You can not even use a serpentine tool with a shallow socket. The original Motorcraft bolt head is tall and extends a half an inch out from the pulley to allow access by a wrench in order to install the belt. The Dayco replacement bolt has shallow bolt head which does not extend out or above the pulley and can not be accessed to rotate tensioner inorder to install the belt. Could not swap bolts because Dayco is also smaller in diameter. Had to return the unit and order Motorcraft replacement on line.
