• Hydraulic cylinder tensioner design for controlled timing belt tension
• Aluminum construction
• OE Exact comparison rating for direct-fit replacement confidence
• Contents: tensioner
• Engine timing belt tensioner for valve train service

Product Details

Gates PowerGrip Timing Tensioners are engineered for OE-quality or OE-exact fit and performance. The T43190 is a hydraulic cylinder timing belt tensioner that helps keep belt tension stable during engine operation, which is important on interference-engine applications where timing accuracy matters. This part number is used across a wide range of Mitsubishi, Chrysler, and Dodge applications, including Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, Endeavor, Diamante, Montero Sport, and Montero, as well as Chrysler Sebring, Cirrus, and Dodge Stratus and Avenger. This part cross-references Dayco 85010 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt slack or inconsistent belt tension
• Noise caused by worn or weak tensioner components
• Premature timing belt wear from improper belt control
• Timing service issues on interference-engine vehicles
• Repeat repairs caused by a failing hydraulic tensioner
