Review on 🔧 The Ultimate Solution: Gates 38378 DriveAlign Automatic Belt Drive Tensioner Unveiled! by Brennan Buckley

At this point, it looks like a perfect replacement for a squeaky and degrading OEM unit. Installation on the Frontier 2014 was pretty easy. Once you gain access by removing the intake duct and loosening the belt, all you need is a 14mm socket and a matching breakaway (no room for a ratchet/socket) as the bolt is very tight there. The entire R&R took maybe 20 minutes. It costs money to stop both belt squeak and belt slack over time, which can cause the belt to eventually fall off.
