A linear tensioner (39) has a longitudinally extending first sleeve (40) having an end (42) configured for pivotal coupling and a longitudinally extending second sleeve (60) having an end (62) configured for pivotal coupling. The second sleeve (60) slidably receives the first sleeve (40) and frictionally engages therewith. A biasing member (72) extends between and is housed by the sleeves (40, 60) and urges the sleeves (40, 60) apart. The first sleeve (40) operatively engages with the second sleeve (60) enabling sliding movement within a range and retains the sleeves (40, 60) together against the bias of the biasing member (72).
