GMB Engine Timing Belt Tensioner Hydraulic Assembly P/N:460-7253

$111.99

Description

Keep your timing belt running true with the GMB Engine Timing Belt Tensioner Hydraulic Assembly (P/N 460-7253) — the hydraulic-activated tensioner that maintains precise belt tension across the timing drive, protecting the belt and the engine it synchronizes. It fits a wide range of Subaru platforms including the 1997-2012 Subaru Legacy, 1998-2014 Subaru Impreza, 1999-2013 Subaru Forester, 2000-2012 Subaru Outback, and several additional Subaru and Saab applications listed below.

Built to OE-level tolerances: Dimensioned and performance-tested to match or surpass what the original equipment tensioner delivers.
Rigorous quality control: Every bearing component undergoes thorough testing to confirm reliability before the assembly leaves the facility.
Premium Triple-Lip Seal: A triple-lip seal design maximizes grease retention and keeps contamination out of the bearing cavity.
High-heat grease: Packed with grease engineered to handle elevated operating temperatures without breaking down.
Precision tolerance control: Close tolerances are held throughout to achieve the correct belt alignment on the flat, 55.0 mm-diameter pulley.

Signs this tensioner may need replacing include a squealing or chirping noise from the timing belt area, visible belt looseness or oscillation, or a timing belt that has jumped a tooth — which can lead to rough running and misfires. A leaking or seized hydraulic tensioner loses its ability to keep the belt taut, so replacement is recommended whenever the timing belt is serviced.

What part numbers does this replace?

It cross-references 85065, 4607253, T43138, T43271, and 13033AA000. The GMB manufacturer part number is 460-7253; Part Eazy SKU is P1040PA-460-7253.

How do I know if my timing belt tensioner is failing?

Common signs include squealing or chirping near the timing cover, visible belt slack or oscillation, rough running, or misfires that may indicate the belt has jumped a tooth.

Is this a direct-fit replacement?

Yes. The 460-7253 is designed as a direct-fit hydraulic tensioner assembly for the listed Subaru and Saab applications, with a flat pulley and 55.0 mm outside diameter.

How does a hydraulic timing belt tensioner work?

It uses internal hydraulic pressure to apply constant, automatic load against the timing belt, keeping tension stable as the belt stretches over time and across temperature changes.
