This serpentine belt tensioner drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Toyota and Lexus V8 applications, including the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner [V8-4.7L], 2000-2009 Toyota Tundra [V8-4.7L], 2001-2009 Toyota Sequoia [V8-4.7L], 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser [V8-4.7L], and 1998-2000 Lexus GS400 [V8-4.0L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A tensioner applies constant spring force to hold the belt taut and take up slack as the belt stretches and pulley loads change. Signs the original may need replacing include belt squeal or chirp, a fluttering or vibrating belt, and premature belt wear. If a worn tensioner is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Country of origin: China.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a serpentine belt tensioner do?
It applies constant spring force to keep the accessory drive belt taut, taking up slack as the belt stretches and pulley loads change so components like the alternator and A/C compressor run consistently.
Will the SK89255 fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for listed Toyota and Lexus V8 applications such as the 2003-2009 4Runner, 2000-2009 Tundra, and 1998-2000 GS400. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, model, and engine.
What are the signs of a failing belt tensioner?
Common signs include belt squeal or chirp, a fluttering or vibrating belt, and premature belt wear. If a worn tensioner is the cause, replacing it with SK89255 restores proper tension.
Which engines does this tensioner cover?
The listed applications use the V8-4.0L, V8-4.3L, and V8-4.7L engines across various Toyota and Lexus models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine and year breakdown.
Should I replace the belt when installing this tensioner?
Inspect the accessory drive belt for cracks, glazing, or wear during installation. Replacing a worn belt at the same time is a good practice, though it is sold separately.
