This was an amazing find so much cheaper than buying it at auto parts store. I'm super impressed with how well it worked as a aftermarket replacement part. It fit perfectly The only issue I had was that I had to buy a bolten washer for The pivoting hydraulic arm because the original one was pressed in but that was $1.05 more so not a big deal.

The tensioner fit my car,it worked good and did exactly what it is supposed to do and got my car going again, couldn't ask for more.

IT LASTED ONE WEEK. Bolt snapped while driving. This time it broke off inside the engine, 1270 dollar repair at the shop. THANKS A LOT. The people who designed these aftermarket hunks of trash belong in prison. Somebody is going to get killed when their power steering goes out in traffic and cause a huge wreck. I'm very lucky that out of all three times these garbage things have broken on me, there weren't any cars around me. On my pictures, you can see where the bolt snapped clean off, and see that it's garbage pot metal. Something the manufacturer could fix for pennies per unit. You can also see that it had cracked at some point but not sheered, thus the belt rubbing against the tensioner and wearing through the metal enough to spring a leak. Hardened steel shouldn't be worn by a mostly rubber belt. I've been through THREE of these from supposedly different manufacturers yet they all look and feel identical. This one has a bolt which is 18.5mm. A socket that doesn't exist, therefore you get a terrible fit and it spins when you apply torque to slip the belt on. That's using the actual tool from Honda made for this single purpose. It's made out of the softest metal possible. It is not hardened steel. After rounding it, the only other way to get a belt on is via prybar. Even the mechanic shop put a new "oem equivalent" and I inspected after they "fixed it" and found it also was rounded. They stated that theirs had a return rate of 4% which is "really good" I'd say if 4 people in 100 die using your product, athat's pretty trash. The last one didn't last 2k miles without exploding and destroyed my power steering. STAY AWAY FROM THIS. Buy actual OEM from HONDA and nothing else here on Amazon because 100% of them suck and will fail on you. False advertising "strong and durable" not even remotely.

Silent and smooth operation fits like OEM

Stopped the awful belt noise I had, so I'd say it works. The only nitpick I have with this assembly is that the lower pully (non-tensioned one) has a much higher rolling resistance than the OEM one so may wear out sooner, but for $30 (vs >$100 for OEM) it's worth it though.

Good product, I like it

I liked the product for fitting exactly in like the original one but I didn't check the head of the bolts before installing the whole assembly. I stripped my original idler pulley bolt and I was not worried at all because this unit came with the bolts. The space to unscrew the idler bolt is so small and the previous bolt too tight that I had to buy a 3/8'' long handle ratchet to unscrew it. While trying to screw the new bolt, I noticed that the 14mm socket was too big. All the 13mm sockets I have need adapters and the ratchet+adapter+13mm socket won't fit in the tight space to tighten the 13mm bolt that came with this part. I used a 13mm wrench to tighten it and when I started my car, I head some squeeking noise just like some say here. I gave 3 stars because this part is cheap and fits the holes. If I didn't have a 13mm wrench to tighten the wrong bolt, I would've given 1 star instead. I'm sure this replacement part won't last long but I'm keeping it because I drive this car like 5 miles /week.
