Is it common for the pivot point on a belt tensioner to seize? I was visiting a mechanic friend today who discovered the belt tensioner on my Park Avenue doesn't move more than an 1/8th inch..Certainly not enough to slip the belt off. I don't actually need a belt just yet.
Looks like a little bit of work is involved seeing a coolant pipe runs through the tensioner bracket/housing. 3800V6
Meanwhile the 18 year old tensioner o the Bonneville swings freely.
