Replacing the assembly is your best bet. For some reassurance, you can judge the condition of the tensioner yourself. A tensioner will usually have a groove on the arm where it meets the spring housing which determines the arm's range of movement. With the tensioner and belt installed, note the position of the tensioner relative to the block. When removing the belt, notice the position of the arm when fully open and when fully released. These three points should give you an idea as to the tensioner's wear. When the tensioner is new, I usually come very close to the fully open position to slip on a new belt. Likewise, I've seen trucks with whining and disintegrating belts due to worn tensioners that were close to the resting position when installed (no tension). **Q: where is it made** A: If the bearing has no nomenclature then more than likely China. If the bearing has a name and part then look that up as ref to when it is assembled. Cheap bearings from China may not have seal with recessed edge allowing grease to seep over time. They tun cheap and are noisy. **Q: what size bolt will fit this i have a 94 mazda b3000?** A: This is the same part for my '04 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Mine uses an M10 flanged bolt but I don't remember the length or thread pitch. It's not a stretch bolt so you can reuse it if it's in good shape. I reused mine and torqued it to 35 lb-ft. If it's not in good shape, have it matched at a local auto parts store. My local Home Depot stocks a nice assortment of Class 8.8 M10 flanged bolts as well. **Q: Will this fit 1998 chevy s10 4.3l 4x4?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***A on 29 January 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***S on 25 March 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***0 on 10 April 2024* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/304511795-gates-drivealign-belt-drive-idler-tensioner-pulley](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/304511795-gates-drivealign-belt-drive-idler-tensioner-pulley) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
