SKP SK89601 Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly

Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Overview

The SKP SK89601 accessory drive belt tensioner assembly is a direct replacement for the belt tensioning component used in select Mitsubishi applications. It is listed for vehicles with a serpentine belt tensioner and pulley setup, helping restore proper belt tension control in the accessory drive system.

Key Features

• Accessory drive belt tensioner assembly for the serpentine belt system
• Direct replacement part number SK89601
• Cross-references Dayco 89601 and Gates 38413 for the same application
• Fits Mitsubishi Galant, Eclipse, Lancer, and Outlander applications listed below

Detailed Description

SKP SK89601 is built for Mitsubishi vehicles that use a serpentine belt tensioner with pulley. Proper belt tension is critical for maintaining consistent accessory drive operation, reducing belt slip, and keeping the belt routed under controlled load. This part cross-references Dayco 89601 and Gates 38413 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn tensioner on a Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi Lancer, or Mitsubishi Outlander, SK89601 provides the correct fitment for the listed model years.

What It Helps Address

• Belt squeal caused by weak or inconsistent tension
• Accessory drive belt slip under load
• Uneven belt tracking from a worn tensioner assembly
• Noisy operation from a failing pulley-equipped tensioner
• Loss of proper belt tension in the serpentine drive system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and serpentine belt tensioner configuration before ordering. This part is listed for Fits 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant, N/A; Fits 2006-2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse, N/A; Fits 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, N/A; and Fits 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, N/A. Inspect the belt, pulley condition, and surrounding accessory drive components during replacement to confirm the source of wear.
