Gates 39132 Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly

The Gates 39132 is a direct-fit drive belt tensioner assembly engineered to maintain proper serpentine belt tension throughout its service life. Gates is a world leader in power transmission and fluid power products, and this tensioner is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for a precise, reliable fit.

A properly functioning belt tensioner is critical to the performance of all belt-driven accessories — including the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. Over time, OEM tensioners wear out, resulting in belt slippage, squealing, or premature belt failure. Replacing the tensioner with a quality Gates unit restores proper belt tension and protects the entire accessory drive system.

Key Features:

• Engineered to match OEM specifications for fit, form, and function
• Precision-manufactured tensioner arm and pulley assembly
• High-quality internal spring maintains consistent belt load
• Sealed bearing for long service life and reduced maintenance
• Gates OE-equivalent quality — a trusted name in belt drive systems
• Direct bolt-on replacement — no modifications required

For best results, Gates recommends replacing the serpentine belt at the same time as the tensioner, and inspecting all other accessory drive components (idler pulleys, belt routing) during installation.
