"GM Genuine Parts Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assemblies are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. When you hear annoying belt squeal under the hood or experience battery charging issues caused by a slipping alternator belt, restoring proper tension is essential for reliable vehicle operation. These tensioner assemblies automatically adjust to take up belt slack as the engine runs, ensuring the serpentine belts stay tight against all pulleys to drive critical components like the water pump, air conditioning compressor, and power steering. By utilizing a robust torsion spring and an advanced damping mechanism, they reduce vibration and provide maximum stability even under the heavy strain of towing or daily commuting. The springs even help to mitigate belt wear and flex-fatigue. Engineered with low-friction bearings and protective seals that stop internal contamination, these tensioners are rigorously validated to deliver consistent power transfer while extending the overall lifespan of your drive belt and pulleys. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles."
