Do you know that those belt tensioner springs can break under normal usage? At about 200 kmi my '91 350SDL was getting noisy at the tensioner mechanism. I opened the hood one day prepared to replace the "typical" noisy damper and found that part of the spring was missing! It had broken, and about half of it had fallen away to join the many tons of rubber, screws, bolts, nuts, springs, belts, brackets, mufflers, exhaust pipes, glass, chairs, mattresses, bottles, cans, food wrappers, kitchen sinks and much other detritus littering or roads and streets.

WILTON. IS. THE. MAN.

Just swapped my belt tensioner shock. Even with taking pictures it took me less than 10 minutes to do.

Thanks a bunch, Wilton!

ATTABOY!

Dan
