Belt tensioner
Has anyone ever had one go? I can't imagine what it would take for one to
break... Ex-wife's mechanic says her Mustang's is busted. I call BS. It would be a 1-1000 shot. 1990 Mustang. Car runs like new. Thoughts? Brad |

Car runs like new. Thoughts? It failed on my dad's '99. It's not unheard of them to fail... all that would need to happen is the seal to go bad let the grease out of the bearing.. |

Belt tensioner
I broke one once on a '93 lx. I forgot how though, I think I was messing
with it. I don't believe it just "broke". Stranger things have happened before though so I wouldn't doubt it. Erik D.

Belt tensioner
The tensioner on my '93 GT started squeeling like a bad/dry bearing. Was
cheap and easy to replace. Better to go ahead and replace if there is any question because if it freezes up, could be bad... well, make you stranded on the side of the road one day. But... if it's the Ex-wife, who cares? :-) "BradandBrooks" > wrote in message news:IKX1h.233263$5R2.32138@pd7urf3no... > Has anyone ever had one go?
