Before going to the store, it's best to:
1. Know your engine size: A 1996 Camaro could have a V6 or a V8 engine. The tensioner pulley will be different for each.
2. Check online: Use the store's websites (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) and enter your vehicle's year, make, and model. This will ensure they have the correct part in stock.
3. Get the part number (if possible): If you have the old pulley or can find the part number from a repair manual, this will make the process even faster.
By doing this research beforehand, you'll save time and ensure you get the right part.
