INA US Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly,Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner P/N:FT40170
INA US FT40263 belt tensioner for the 1993-2005 Lexus GS300 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles holds the engine's accessory drive belt at the right tension. Also known as an accessory drive belt tensioner, it is a front end auxiliary drive (FEAD) unit.
Belt squeal, early belt wear or vibration at the front of the engine can mean a weak tensioner. With the engine off and cool, look over the belt for cracks and glazing and the tensioner pulley for rust or wobble. A worn belt or accessory pulley can make similar noises, so pin down the cause before you buy.
Among the vehicles it fits are the 1993-2005 Lexus GS300, the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 and the 1992-2000 Lexus SC300, each with the 6-cylinder 3.0L engine. Owners of any other model can look up their car on the Buyer's Guide tab.
One belt tensioner. This listing holds one, and the vehicle takes one.
Is this belt tensioner right for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 6-cylinder 3.0L?
Yes. INA US FT40263 fits the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 with the 6-cylinder 3.0L engine, and the car takes one tensioner.
Does this belt tensioner fit the 1992-2000 Lexus SC300 6-cylinder 3.0L?
Yes. This belt tensioner fits the 1992-2000 Lexus SC300 with the 6-cylinder 3.0L engine.
What does the FEAD design in this belt tensioner do?
FEAD stands for front end auxiliary drive. The design damps vibration in very small installation spaces on today's high-load engines.
Could belt noise or vibration come from a worn INA US FT40263 belt tensioner?
Yes, it can. A tensioner that no longer holds belt tension may let the belt slip or the front of the engine vibrate. A shop can test it with the engine running.
Is the INA US FT40263 a single tensioner or a FEAD kit?
INA US FT40263 is a single belt tensioner, not a FEAD kit. The vehicle takes one, so this listing covers it.
