Must-have accessory for automotive enthusiasts

When I tried this product, I was amazed by how it improved the performance of my engine. I immediately noticed an increase in power and a smoother ride. The installation was quick and easy, and the quality of the materials is top-notch. The only con is that it's a bit pricey, but the benefits make it well worth the investment. Overall, I highly recommend this accessory for anyone looking to boost their automotive performance.

Pros

Cons
  • Priced higher than some competitor products

Quiet engine again!

My 2012 Fusion 2.5L was making a very loud howling noise from the belt system. This tensioner solved the problem and it was very quiet again. It's not hard to replace. It appears to have decent build quality and is made in Canada.

Pros
  • The torsion spring's round spring design provides reliability and consistent tension
Cons
  • Zero

Casting broke when belt was installed

All was going well until it was time to install the belt. Put my ratchet/socket on the fitting to release the tension and the cast broke. I was only using my 3/8 ratchet so there wasn't much torque. Now I do this work twice with a narrow gap. this part.

Pros
  • Manufactured using the same or improved technology and quality materials as the original manufacturer's (OEM) part resulting in a factory fit
Cons
  • Guard
