Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 419-103 Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly: Ideal for Select Saturn Models by Cory Spence

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor casting and design caused this item to break into pieces.

Due to poor design and construction, this item broke in transit. I installed it when replacing the alternator and it lasted less than a year. I replaced a part that lasted over 100,000 and this part didn't last more than 5,000. My Saturn is over 300,000 and this was the first time I had a break that left me on the side of the road and having to call AAA. I replaced it with a Dayco part and I swear the engine runs better. This part error made me wonder what other Dorman parts didn't meet the required standards. Spend your money on VERY good parts for your car. Your car will thank you.

Pros
  • Engines and engine parts
Cons
  • Socket required.
