Detailed Description

The SKP SK89209 accessory drive belt tensioner assembly is engineered for vehicles that rely on stable belt tension to keep the accessory drive system operating correctly. It is listed for 1991-2000 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models, including 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan, 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager, and 1991-1995 Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Spirit, and Plymouth Acclaim. This part number, SK89209, also covers 1991-1993 Chrysler and Dodge Daytona applications and other listed fitments with serpentine or smooth pulley configurations.

For 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager, 2000 Chrysler Voyager, and 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan applications with the original drive design, a solution kit is highly recommended. This part is a practical replacement when the belt tensioner is no longer holding proper tension, causing noise or inconsistent accessory drive performance.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Belt squeal from weak or inconsistent tension
• Visible belt flutter or vibration at idle
• Premature belt wear from poor tension control
• Accessory drive noise from a worn tensioner pulley assembly
• Loss of stable belt tracking on serpentine or smooth pulley systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley style and belt routing before installation. This SK89209 tensioner is listed for both serpentine and smooth pulley applications, so matching the original drive design is important. For the 2000 Chrysler and 1996-2000 Dodge/Plymouth smooth pulley applications noted above, review the original drive design and consider the recommended solution kit when applicable.
