Description:
Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this part and offers this "O.E. Exact"*part for the aftermarket. This popular tensioner, designed for Jeep Wrangler 3.8L vehicles, looks, fits, and performs like the original part being replaced. Unlike many Non-O.E. aftermarket tensioners, the Litens part maintains the internal damping feature for optimal performance and life. O.E. Exact - Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design. Note - The heavy duty polymer pulley is attached to the tensioner with an integrated bolt/washer, has two molded locator pins for accurate installation, and the tensioner arm maintains the O.E. lift feature for easy belt removal, and installation. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring. Common O.E. reference number 53032860A Litens is the world's largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits.
