KJ-0198-0

For the belt tensioner, which maintains tension of the belt for the engine auxiliary devices, on certain vehicles, the caulking of the belt tensioner axle is not sufficient, and the belt tensioner may separate from the attachment part. If this happens, the belt can come off, causing the alternator and the hydraulic pump for power steering to stop working, which results in the illumination of the charge warning light and in heavier steering.
