Detailed Description

BBB Industries N17206 is engineered as a replacement starter for select Chevrolet Tracker, Suzuki Sidekick, Suzuki Vitara, Suzuki X-90, Geo Tracker, Pontiac Sunrunner, and GMC Tracker models. The NEW STARTER line focuses on OE-style electrical starting components, and this unit follows the Mitsubishi starter architecture used in the listed applications. The permanent magnet gear reduction layout supports efficient cranking performance, while the closed nose cone and 8-tooth pinion help match the original starter configuration. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 1998-2002 Chevrolet Tracker or a 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, N17206 provides a direct-fit starting solution for the specified vehicles.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi starter numbers such as M1T74581 and M1T74583 for the same application.
