Litens Drive Belt Tensioner 999682 A

It applies constant pressure to the drive belt so it grips the pulleys without slipping, and it absorbs the belt's movement as engine speed changes. Idler pulleys guide the belt around its path.

A squeal or chirp from the front of the engine, a rumbling or grinding bearing noise, a belt that flutters, jumps or wears unevenly, or a tensioner arm that bounces or has visible play.

Replace the drive belt at the same time, and consider replacing the other pulleys if they have similar mileage, since their bearings wear at a similar rate.

Usually, yes. Note or photograph the belt routing before removing it, release the tension with the correct tool, and check the new belt sits correctly in every pulley groove before starting the engine.
