OE 49160-81A00 — Tensioner Guide for Hyundai / Kia

KingMay supplies OEM-grade aftermarket parts built to the 49160-81A00 factory specification: material grade, dimensional tolerance and surface finish follow the original tooling. They are not dealer-boxed genuine parts, and we quote them that way so there is no ambiguity at customs.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Aftermarket tensioner guide comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the tensioner guide sits on the engine & fuel system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

Yes, if the alternate shares the same engineering envelope. Shortlist candidates from the Related OE References table, then check bolt pattern, electrical pinout and material grade. A difference in any of those three means it is a different part, not a substitute.
