Default Re: Serpentine belt Tensioner has a STRUT 2004 coupe

.



Can someone post a picture of this 'strut' and the tensioner without one 'strut'? I've never seen a 'springless' tensioner. I'm having a time understanding how a tensioner is working without a way for the tension to keep the belt tight. The only thing I can think of, its later model of the tensioner has an INTERNAL coiled spring that takes up the 'slack' in the belt. A couple pictures would help confirm (plus a confirmation the strut tensioner doesn't have an internal spring and the newer one does). Thanks!
