Review on ๐Ÿ”ง ACDelco GM 12563083 Drive Belt Tensioner: Genuine Original Equipment for Optimal Performance by Mark Green

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best Parts OEM

Exact replacement for the 03 Malibu LS squeaky original. The original shook like crazy and my car sounded like the car from Uncle Buck. Would have given 5 stars but this part shook more than I thought after installation. The vibration I noticed has since stopped, but I'll be checking this unit regularly to make sure it's not a sign of early failure. Always choose OEM for components like this, the only difference between what arrived and the original I removed was the "Made in Canada" sticker, right? Nothing could be easier than removing and installing a screw.

Pros
  • Manufactured to GM OE specification for fit, form and function
Cons
  • Strap
