2012 Toyota Venza - Tensioner Pulley

Ford Focus Tensioner Pulley

The tensioner pulley on your Ford Focus guides the belt around the tensioner and allows it to move while the tensioner is keeping pressure against it. The pulley also includes a bearing to keep it spinning smoothly. If your Ford Focus has a failing tensioner pulley, it may cause power loss and damage to the belt-driven systems of your car. The bearing may also fail and cause the pulley to wobble or seize, which can allow the belt to come off of the engine or suffer damage. If you hear squeaking or squealing under the hood, the bearings on the pulley might be failing. Bearings wear out and and may also generate heat or make noise. The tensioner pulley on your Focus is usually made from plastic or metal and it can develop cracks or ther damage, so check the tensioner pulley for damage as well and replace it if needed.
