Review: Something that looks great and works perfectly - Great product.. was having issues with the belt jumping off either when it was cold or high rim. Great look very easy to install
Review: Easy to install - I didn’t realize I had to adjust the tension myself, but it worked the way it should, the squeak from my old warm out tensioner is gone. Car runs like a dream now. It’s a high quality product, and the instructions were very cut and dry. Taking the old one out, and putting this one on took less than one hour.
