Need timing belt tensioner

[seth'sSHO]

I am in need of one for my '94 ATX.
Would anyone know where to get it, other than the dealer? I hate dealing with them,they always want TOO MUCH!

Any thoughts?

junk yard. Ebay....

Excellent suggestion, if there were any SHOs locally. Besides, the mechanic working on my SHO convinced me that a used one would likely fail fast. That, and he just wont install it! liability.
I would prefer a new one if found, just not from the dealer- cuss

Try SHOnutperformance.com or the Ford Parts Network. I dont know, but i bet you would have a hellava time trying to get one new from a dealer.

I'll try them. Thank you.

Good luck, I think it is a Japan only part shrug

Has anyone else had better luck finding this damm part? The mechanic is pushing me for the part. I'm now afraid he might start charging me for storage! headbang

A Junkyard is your best bet. Unless you want to pay a good dollar from one, as far as I know...SHO SHOP is the only place I can think of that would carry it. Others will NOT recomend SHO SHOP..due to there inconsistant shipping(or lack of) elements.

Try Alfitz @ Alfitz.com

Good luck...did you mess up the tensioner when removing the belt?

Yes, but not by me. I paid good money to have the water pump replaced, with the timing belt, and the "certified tech" who worked on it screwed it up!
My NEW mechanic discovered it, and a loose crank pulley bolt too!
He found it while replacing the crank & cam sensors.
I also need the idler pulley bearings.
