I'm curious, you realize I asked a question about a 1998 lexus GS400 right? You sent me a link for a 1990-1994 LS400 first generation. Does this apply to my 1998 GS400
yes i was aware. i had looked at some diagrams of 98(no pics) and they seemed basically the same. i have another question. what is wrong with your tensioner? if it's just a bad bearing then just replace that and save a lotta bucks?
the tensioner broke, there's something like a threaded shaft that the pulley spins on. The pulley bolts onto it, it snapped when I took the pulley off, I put the pulley back on with the broken threaded shaft, torqued it to the specs and everything works fine, been driving it and everything seems fine im just worried about it coming loose. whats your opinion
your description is a little lacking in important details. how were you able to still use the broken threaded shaft?
