99 Saturn Belt Tensioner

The belt tensioner on my 99 Saturn keeps going out every 4 months. Does anyone have the same problem?

When you say "going out", what do you mean? Loss of tension, bearing failure, casting breaking --- what ??

I replace the belt tensioner then months later the tensioner starts knocking again. It's an Autozone replacement part.

i believe autozone part is not a correct match (pulley wrong size = wrong tension = clusterfu*k)

go OEM
