Litens 999288A Automatic Serpentine Belt Tensioner Assembly

The Litens 999288A is manufactured by the original equipment supplier and meets or exceeds all OE form, fit, and function specifications for Ford, Mercury, and Mazda applications. This tensioner features several performance upgrades including a longer arm to reduce tensioner motion, a redesigned spring housing to enhance durability, increased damping, and an upgraded pulley material from steel to strong lightweight plastic.

Key Features:

• Internal round spring technology provides constant belt tension and alignment throughout its service life
• Heavy duty steel pulley with close tolerance ball bearing pocket and electro-deposited coating for superior corrosion resistance
• Internal damping components ensure long trouble-free performance
• Installation instructions included
• Professional mechanics can install this tensioner in approximately 20 minutes

Accessory drive belts and tensioners are manufactured with similar design life targets. Since belt removal is required to change the tensioner, replacing both will extend the system service life and lower labor costs versus individual replacement.
