Keep your timing belt properly tensioned and quiet with the AISIN Engine Timing Belt Tensioner Hydraulic Assembly (BTM001). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant, and 2005-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
This hydraulic tensioner uses an internal damping mechanism to apply and maintain steady tension on the timing belt, helping keep the belt correctly seated as engine speed and load change. Consistent tension supports accurate valve timing and helps limit belt vibration and slap.
Signs the tensioner may need replacing include timing-belt whine or rattle and a loose or slapping belt; diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources. If a worn or leaking tensioner is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
