• Belt misalignment from worn pulley or tensioner components
• Noise from a rough or failing tensioner bearing
• Premature belt wear from poor pulley tracking
• Accessory drive instability from a fatigued spring mechanism

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing and pulley alignment before installation. Inspect the serpentine belt, idler pulleys, and adjacent accessory drive components for wear, glazing, or bearing noise while the system is apart. Confirm the replacement matches the original OE-style tensioner layout for the listed GM fitments before final assembly.
