Review on Dayco 89356 Automatic Tensioner Assembly by Garon Tafolla

Revainrating 1 out of 5

2003 Corolla with Noise Fix (was)

Item fits like original. Was about $25 cheaper than the parts store for the same part. hope it lasts The car had a rattling noise and after checking for the noise I saw that it looked like a problem. Pushed down with a crowbar, the noise was gone. Now rest after exchange. It's a good time to change the strap even if it's off. Replace a little painful. I had to loosen 3 engine mounting bolts to raise the engine about 1/2 inch to have room to remove the bolt on the tensioner. The belt is also painful to put on. Could have included better instructions. It took maybe 1 hour or so to complete the work. One star deducted for poor instructions. It was 4 stars but after about two months it's already noisy like the one I replaced. Now I'm wondering if I can get a replacement.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Reverse impression
