Interesting!
How can I check if it needs replacement?
Just by wiggling the spring/shock?
TIA

Darn new I should have looked around more. Got mine at Rock Auto for.just over $80 with a 5% discount code. Got the idler pulley too, figured I'd freshen it too while I'm there..

Then you can fold it back so you can use a LED flashlight and look up for the little "Shock like" part on the tensioner. It is black about 4- 6 inches long. It is in a hard to see location, it is kind of below and behind the tensioner spring.
You need to look at the bushings on both ends were it connects. My front one completely broke and fell out and the "little shock" was rattleing against the post making the metal to metal sound. :frown2: -
Video Private again?
BUMP....trying to see if this is the same as I am having on mine.
