Dayco Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly P/N:89230
Dayco 89218 belt tensioner for the 1996-1999 Ford Mustang V8 4.6L and other vehicles holds the accessory drive belt at working tension. This Dayco belt tensioner rides on the belt that turns the engine's driven accessories.
A worn serpentine belt tensioner can show up as belt squeal or chirp, a fluttering belt or uneven belt wear. Before you replace it, rule out a worn belt or a weak idler or accessory pulley, since those can make similar noises. Plan on one tensioner per engine.
Among the many vehicles it fits are the 1992-1999 Ford Crown Victoria and the 1992-1999 Lincoln Town Car.
