BIHEE Drive Belt Tensioner Kit 11720-JA00A
Product description
When the accessory-drive belt and tensioner need attention, replacing both together can make more sense than buying a belt alone. The BIHEE Drive Belt Tensioner Kit pairs a tensioner with a serpentine belt for specified Nissan Altima applications.
That makes it worth considering for a repair where both parts are due, rather than as a general-purpose belt kit.
The key buying detail is fitment: the listed coverage depends on the Altima’s engine and, for the 2013 model year, its power-steering setup.
Size & fit
The kit is listed for the Nissan Altima with an L4 2.5L engine from 2007 through 2012, plus the 2013 L4 2.5L model with electric power steering. The description identifies replacement part numbers 11720-JA00A and 11955-JA00A. Those details matter more than the broad vehicle name: an Altima with a different engine or steering configuration is not confirmed as compatible here.
Before ordering, match your vehicle’s year, engine, and applicable steering setup against the listing, then compare the replacement numbers with the part being removed. What good is a paired replacement if the fitment details do not line up? The kit is described as a direct replacement requiring no modifications, but that does not remove the need to verify the application.
For a repair, picture replacing the belt and tensioner in the same service rather than installing a fresh belt while leaving an aging tensioner in place. You’ll appreciate it if both components are due and your Altima matches the stated fitment. It’s not for you if you need a belt-only purchase, have another engine, or cannot confirm the 2013 electric power-steering configuration.
Pros
- Includes both a belt tensioner and serpentine belt, which suits a paired replacement rather than a belt-only repair.
- The listing provides two OE replacement numbers, giving you specific details to compare before purchase.
- Aluminum and rubber are the stated materials, the description also calls out bearings and pulleys intended to reduce friction and maintain belt tension and alignment.
- Installation is described as a direct replacement with no modifications needed.
The main drawback is how specific the fitment is. The listing does not establish compatibility with every Altima or provide additional vehicle configurations, so the broad model name alone is not enough to choose this kit. Its claims about quiet, smooth operation are product-description claims, not a substitute for confirming the part match.

Should you buy it?
This kit makes the most sense when you have a confirmed compatible Altima and want the tensioner and belt together for one repair. Compared with sourcing only a replacement belt, the paired format addresses both listed components, compared with a more comprehensive repair package, it is only described as including those two pieces, so do not assume other service parts are included.
If the part numbers and vehicle details match, the direct-replacement approach may simplify choosing the core components for the job. If fitment is uncertain, or your vehicle falls outside the stated engine and steering details, hold off until you can identify the correct application. That fitment check is the deciding factor here, not the general promise of an easier or quieter drive.
