my belt tensioner is making some very weird noise and i was going to have it replaced today but the part is not going to be here until next week monday and i have to drive 65miles today. Just want to know if ya'll think it'll be okay to use it for the drive until i get back cos that's the only way i can roll for the holidays. n/b it just started making the noise and the mechanics that diagnosed the car thinks the bearings are bad. any responses would be greatly appreciated.thanks

 

I would limit the driving. The hard driving especially.

 

i was told i needed a belt tensioner back in august....3 months and about 5 or 6,000 miles later im still driving fine without getting it replaced
