cutlass1991 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I looked that the tensioner while the engine was running and it seems to vibrate a lot. Is that normal? Also, what are those markings used for and is mine aligned correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitcor Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 those are wear markings I belive, as the sprin weakens the tnesion will rotate toward/away from one line and closer to the other. If you say its vibrating alot then its due for replacment. $50 from most auto parts stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94cutlatized Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 thanks manticor, always wondering what that was. Dont mean to change the subject, Dan, but is that ground effects on the cutlass? will they fit 94 and up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 If it moves at all from side to side then replace it. It happened to out 3.1 Lumina APV and the serpentine belt fell off. Luckly that didn't hurt anything, but after trying to put the belt back on the tensioner busted (spring popped out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
