Product Description

The Gates T43130 Hydraulic Timing Belt Tensioner is designed as a direct replacement for factory timing belt tensioners on certain Mitsubishi 4-cyl engines (primarily 2.4 L and related petrol engines) fitted to Eclipse, Galant, Lancer, and Outlander models from the early 2000s through early 2010s. Its hydraulic-cylinder construction automatically maintains the correct belt tension - a critical function to ensure precise valve timing and avoid potential engine damage in interference engines.

With OE-exact design and durable aluminum components, this tensioner offers reliable, long-lasting service even under harsh operating conditions. Installation is straightforward: no extra idler pulleys required when used on compatible engines, and the self-adjusting tension mechanism removes the need for manual belt-tensioning adjustments. This makes T43130 an ideal choice for maintenance, belt-change services, or rebuilds.

If your vehicle is a 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, 2004-2012 Galant, 2005-2012 Eclipse, or 2004-2006 Outlander - and uses a compatible 4-cyl petrol engine - T43130 offers a dependable, OEM-equivalent tensioner solution. Always verify your engine code and VIN before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
