Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the tensioner during timing belt service whenever the original unit shows wear, noise, or weak spring action. Verify pulley alignment, belt routing, and engine timing marks before starting the engine. Because fitment varies by engine and model year, confirm the application against the vehicle’s timing system before installation.
