Easy fix for Squeaky / Squealing Belt - Toyota Yaris Forums

"G", quit being a douche. You act like this is some ghetto mod that I just invented. Ive owned over 30 cars and this is the first time Ive owned a car without a belt tensioner. Its a stupid idea from Toyota to not have one. There have been many ideas and inventions by manufacturers that only last a few years cuz they were stupid and Im willing to bet this is one of them.

Bronsin, I believe it is 1" angle iron, but I bet you could make 3/4" work. And, yes you could weld that nut to make the adjustment a one wrench affair. Yes, you drill 2 holes in each piece of angle iron. As for rust, I don't know if you drive with your hood off your car or what but my engine bay will never see enough water to rust those :)
