Belt tensioners are critical wear items and should be inspected or replaced during any serpentine belt service interval. A failing tensioner can cause belt noise, accessory underperformance, accelerated belt wear, and unexpected belt failure — all of which can lead to costly secondary damage. Replacing the tensioner assembly as part of routine belt maintenance is a straightforward preventive measure that protects the entire accessory drive system.
