My 1998 C230 needed a new serpentine belt tensioner. There is no tensioner dampener ( shock absorber) on the one I took off nor is there an attchment point on the tensioner I took off. The new tensioner has an attachment point for a dampener. Is my car supposed to have a dampener and/or is this the wrong tensioner for my car?
