Continental Elite 49278 Accu Drive Tensioner Review

Using this product, our team found that it failed to provide the necessary tension for our car's belts, resulting in constant slipping .The only positive we can give is that it was easy to install. Unfortunately, the negative impact on our vehicle's performance far outweighs any convenience. Not recommended..

Almost identical to the stock part although the pulley appears to be plastic and the standard pulley is metal. Not sure yet if this will affect durability. Assembly was very easy, just one screw. The instructions say 24 lb-ft of torque, but I went through them anyway and found it was 30 for the LB7, so I went with that. I installed these and new idler pulleys with a new Gatorback belt and now it runs smooth so I'm happy. I will update if anything changes
