it is an integral part of your timing belt system. It is a moving part and wears out over time. It is much, much easier to replace it while you are in there already. Same goes for the water pump.

and if your $70 tensioner breaks, your engine breaks....bye-bye.

Are there not 2 of them in there. I replaced both on my J30A1 on my timing belt change.

I replaced everything, the pulley, tensioner, & UR undersize crank pully with new Gatorback belts when I did my water pump and timing belt. Better safe than sorry, certainly if you have to pay for the labor twice.
