Keep the accessory drive belt tracking true and every belt-driven accessory turning with the Dayco Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly 89224. This spring-loaded tensioner installs as a direct-fit replacement on a range of Ford Bronco, F-Series, and Econoline trucks and vans, applying constant tension so the belt stays seated on the pulleys.
Supplied as a complete assembly for a straightforward swap:
Signs the original tensioner may need replacing include belt squeal or chirp, a belt that slips or throws itself, and noise or roughness from the tensioner pulley. If a worn tensioner is the cause of your belt noise, this assembly replaces it — diagnose the belt system first, since other components can produce similar symptoms.
