Continental® ContiTech™ - Elite™ Drive Belt Tensioner Pulley

In the automotive drive belt system, pulleys ensure that the belt travels effortlessly under proper tension and finds its correct alignment. Though idler and tensioner pulleys are identical in many ways, they function differently. The idler pulley is a guide component that directs the belt path. The tensioner pulley is a spring loaded part that holds the belt tight. If you need a quality replacement for the worn out pulley to bring the drive belt system back to life, Continental Elite™ is your premier choice! You can't go wrong with Continental Elite™ as it carries OE-equivalent idler and tensioner pulleys that look, fit, and function exactly as the factory parts and are made of the same material.

For optimal performance, pulleys should be replaced with those manufactured with the original equipment material selection. Using plastic pulleys instead of steel ones and vice versa may result in premature part failure. If your stock pulley is made of plastic, Goodyear offers pulleys manufactured from glass reinforced thermoplastic for optimized dimensional control and running surface durability. These pulleys feature service-free, sealed, molded-in ball bearings for perfect fit and durability and precise dimensional tolerance for optimal operation and long service life. If your factory pulley is made of steel, Goodyear will have you covered with pulleys manufactured from precision stamped steel with electro-deposited coating (e-coat) for effective corrosion resistance. These components feature close tolerance ball bearing pocket and crowned running surface allowing for proper tracking of the belt.
