ADG096520 Blue Print Tensioner Assembly

This thing basically keeps the tension right on your serpentine belt. It’s got a spring – loaded arm with a pulley on the end. That pulley pushes against the belt, making sure it stays tight around all the accessories – your alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, sometimes the water pump. It’s designed to automatically adjust for wear and keep that belt from slipping or flapping around. Think of it as a little helper for your engine. The serpentine belt drives all those important accessories, and the tensioner makes sure that power gets transferred efficiently. Without it, the belt wouldn’t wrap properly around everything and things just wouldn't run smoothly. It’s part of the whole front – end accessory drive system. A worn or failing tensioner can cause a lot of problems. You’ll notice if it’s going bad, usually with a squealing or chirping sound, especially when you first start the car or when you put a load on the accessories—like turning the steering wheel or turning on the AC. If the tensioner fails completely, the belt can come off, and then things like your alternator and power steering won't work, and your engine could overheat. It acts like a shield protecting those vital parts. They’re relatively inexpensive to replace compared to the damage a broken belt can cause. You can find a good one at places like Fixparts Online, or of course, most auto parts stores will carry them. Replacing it as part of regular service, along with the belt itself, is a smart preventative measure. We’ve got your back: Serpentine Belt Tensioner (MPN ADG096520) is covered for 12 months!
