Great Tensioner Assembly for Car Belts!

This product is a game-changer! As my tests showed, the tensioner assembly is built with high-quality materials and performs exceptionally well... It keeps the car belt tightly adjusted and doesn't slip. The installation process was easy, and it works great with my car. The only downside is that it`s a bit pricier than other tensioner assemblies, but the quality and durability are worth it..

Pros
  • Reliable and durable performance.
Cons
  • Slightly expensive compared to other options in the market.

Snug fit, no cutouts for timing components

Used on '95 Mustang GT. Fits perfectly and works great so far. I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't have a cutout to insert a 3/8 disc and take the pressure off. However, it was possible to use the bolt on the pulley.

Pros
  • Patented Vibration Dampening System absorbs excessive vibration and increases the life of tensioner, belt and accessories
Cons
  • Upgrades
