you don't have to change the tensioner but its recommended while you're in there, if the bearings in that go it'll make noise and eventually break and not hold tension in the belt causing it to slip or come off completely... so yeah, just change it. for the ST there is one tensioner and for the GT there are two, they come in the timing belt component kit
