3.2 atx timing belt tensioner?

[raul916]

ive been reading all through the forum about the problem with finding the atx timing tensioner and jus like everyone else my tensioner is starting to go bad. if anyone has found the tensioner off an aftermarket site or has anyway of getting ahold of one please let me know. my timing is already off and i dont want it to get any worse.

Used is the only option at the moment. You can try SHOSource.com or NESHO.

RCM Auto might have one. If none of the above have one I think I may have a couple.

I don't know why this thread hasn't been sticky'd, but you can scroll down in it to see the write up and then down some more are pictures of the rebuild.

So...in that link, is there a spring action or dampener action against the pivot pin? That is what the original was doing, suspending against a spring and dampening of the spring action. Don't know how important it is, but I think that is how the OEM unit works.
