Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 419-011 tensioner assembly is designed specifically for accessory drive belt systems using serpentine belts. Its steel AISI 1008 pulley provides strength and resistance to wear, while the single bearing with a 40 mm diameter ensures smooth and reliable rotation. The pulley measures 76 mm in outside diameter and 17 mm inside diameter, with a width of 31 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The clockwise rotation of the tensioner helps maintain proper belt tension and alignment, reducing the risk of belt slippage or premature wear.
