Product Details

This Continental accessory drive belt tensioner assembly is designed for vehicles that rely on stable belt tracking across alternator, power steering, water pump, and accessory drive layouts. The tensioner’s spring-loaded design helps compensate for belt wear while keeping consistent pressure on the belt, which supports quieter operation and more stable accessory performance. The pulley measures 2.76 inches outside diameter, 1.18 inches wide, and 0.670 inches bore diameter, with a flanged, grooved thermoplastic pulley profile.

Part number 49347 is a strong match for fitment-based searches such as Chevrolet Corvette accessory drive belt tensioner assembly, Cadillac CTS grooved pulley tensioner, and Pontiac G8 Multi-V belt tensioner replacement. This part cross-references Febi-Bilstein 38328 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Belt squeal caused by weak or inconsistent tension
• Belt flutter or vibration in the accessory drive system
• Misalignment issues that affect grooved Multi-V belt tracking
• Premature wear on accessory drive components from unstable tension
• Reduced belt control in alternator, power steering, and water pump drive layouts

Installation Notes and Tips
