OEM belt tensioner/shocker has pounced out one of it's plastic bushings.
Suggesting the unit is failing/dead.
Unsurprising at 115 k miles service
Have choice of Either a claimed INA brand tensioner or Proparts version A ~20$ price difference Saab oem is Not currently available to me.
No expectations of the Propart living overly long.
However Is the INA labelled copy going to be notably better? Worth buying better?
Interestingly the belt idler pulley has a failed bearing after ~20k...grrr.
A V poorly made Chinese bearing.. Crap seals and virtually no factory grease. Chinese QC at it's finest. Was an Eeuro supplied part. Although the same source/ age Tensioner pulley has an NTN bearing which is good as new..
