Keep the timing belt tracking true and every valve event on schedule with the GMB Engine Timing Belt Tensioner 446-1150 (also written 4461150). This GMB timing belt tensioner drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2005 Hyundai Elantra, 1997-2001 and 2003-2005 Hyundai Tiburon, 2005 Hyundai Tucson, 2004-2005 Kia Spectra, 2005 Kia Spectra5, and 2005 Kia Sportage. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
The tensioner applies steady load against the timing belt to hold correct tension, keeping the belt properly seated on the sprockets so cam and crank timing stay in sync.
Signs this tensioner may need replacing include a whining or rumbling bearing noise from the timing cover, belt flutter or squeal, or play in the pulley. If a worn tensioner is the cause, replace it during your next timing belt service.
