They are definitely different if you compare them.

Wow, guess I've been "lucky". I've been through 3 sets of them, I'm sure I always got Dorman. No pop outs, just breakage lol.

Oh how I wished I knew about these! My husband and I had to replace the plastic ones on my S-Charged back in December...

I had bad luck with Dorman when I did the LIM on my Intrigue. I could tell immediately that they didn't fit right and I immediately replaced them with GM elbows.

Where do these things go? I have yet to change mine, i prob need to :rotfl:

My GM service manual is showing them on the bracket that holds the tensioner. Is that correct?
