Product Description
Keep your engine running smoothly with the Arrowhead Tensioner V Belt 17X70X28MM, designed for precise belt tension management in Mercedes-Benz and Toyota vehicles. This engine vee belt tensioner helps maintain correct tension on your engine's V-belt, ensuring efficient operation of essential components like the alternator, water pump, and power steering.
