This Belt Tensioner/Pulley assembly is a critical component for your CHEVROLET vehicle's accessory drive system. It plays a vital role in maintaining the correct tension on the serpentine belt, which powers essential components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Proper belt tension is crucial for the efficient operation of these accessories. A worn or faulty tensioner can lead to a loose belt, causing slipping, noise, and premature wear on the belt and pulleys. This can result in a loss of power to the accessories, potentially leaving you stranded. Crafted to meet CHEVROLET's stringent quality standards, this part (96498019) is engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance. Replacing your belt tensioner and pulley at recommended intervals or when signs of wear are present will help prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle's systems function as intended.
