It is commonly considered during Honda Civic belt noise diagnosis, belt tension loss, or accessory drive service.
Common Issues This Part Can Help Address
- Belt squeal from weak or inconsistent tension
- Serpentine belt flutter or vibration
- Uneven belt tracking across the accessory drive system

Installation Notes and Tips
Inspect the belt, idler pulleys, and accessory drive components before installation. Confirm pulley alignment, mounting surface condition, and belt routing against the vehicle service information. Replace the tensioner if the arm movement is rough, the pulley bearing is noisy, or the belt no longer maintains steady tension.
For Honda Civic belt service, verify the OE part number and accessory drive configuration before ordering. Gates 38670 is designed as an OE Exact replacement style tensioner assembly for applications that call for this specific fitment.
Quality Assurance
Gates engineers this DriveAlign tensioner line to exceed demanding OEM requirements, and the FleetRunner heavy-duty design has been validated in laboratory testing for vibration and contamination resistance. That testing supports long-term durability in accessory drive belt system service.
