🛠️ Dayco 89369 Belt Tensioner Kit Review

We have this part for my 2012 Honda Pilot. Talk to my mechanic, he said the brand and part are very good quality. The machine is now two weeks old and everything is running smoothly.

The first time I installed a new pulley I didn't take care to tighten it properly as recommended and over-tightened which later resulted in the pulley wobbling and sounding cheap , For anyone wondering, the product is GOOD but the installation instructions are terrible and I feel this could have resulted in a bad experience.

I decided to just replace the entire tensioner which comes with new idler pulleys and idler pulleys. I removed the front right wheel and loosened the fender liner just enough to get it out of the way. When you remove the tensioner, the middle screw…

I bought this tensioner 4 months ago because it was cheaper to buy it as a set than to buy 2 pulleys (tensioner + tensioner) separately. In short, the only worthy quality of this device is that the pulleys aren't half bad; the tensioner itself is junk. Long story: I had noise from my accessory belt (V6 Honda Accord 2003). The noise sounded like a bad bearing on the pulley, but I couldn't tell if it was the idler pulley or the tensioner pulley. So I found this product replaced both and for the…
