The original tensioner on this Toyota vehicle was a hydraulic design that often exhibited a low frequency noise during early morning cool/cold start-ups. There have been a number of "Fixes" recommended for this problem without much success. The Litens "Fix-Kit" uses various components of the latest tensioner, belt, and alternator pulley technology to offer a permanent solution.
