This tensioner was designed and engineered by the Litens Automotive Group - the world's largest supplier of Original Equipment (O.E.) tensioners. While the appearance is slightly different from the original equipment part, the Litens part maintains the original form, fit, and function specifications. The Litens design includes a molded locator pin as well as a heavy duty steel pulley.

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.
