I had to buy this tensioner because mine broke. Yes, the tensioner falls apart at 83xxx miles. OEM was very expensive. It's cheaper and really good quality. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the bolt that came with the tensioner said to tighten and it broke. So I had to disassemble a hole in the front of the car to try and get the stud out of the engine block. But the tensioner itself is really good
