Subaru idlers/tensioner are always changed on an "inspection" basis, they aren't a service item like on the likes of VW where the parts tend to fail if you look at the belt the wrong way................
thats why there aren't many companies supplying "belt kits" as there is a limited market.....

we have been messing with Subaru's for approx 15yrs and never changed a w/pump on service for example as they very rarley give any issue (we tend to fit all new on engine builds or at least strongly recomend)
the pre98 cars in particular also very rarely require tensioners
