doees gt use same belt tensioner as the base vibe

Post by atowley »

Hey guys! So im diagnosing a bad rattle. Almost sounds like a heat shield while i am decellerating in geqr around 1800 rpms, its coming from around passengers side floor area. Checked all heat shields and all look and feel great. Somebody told me its probably the tensioner but i cant tell. So i thought i would replace it to rule it out. Does the gt use the same tensioner as the base? Mine is an 05 gt with 112 thousand on it. Thanks!!!!

Nope, it uses a different one. You can replace the pulley separately.
