What does an idler pulley do?

An idler pulley helps guide and tension the serpentine belt that drives your engine's accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. It ensures the belt stays properly aligned and maintains the correct tension for efficient operation.

How do I know if I need to replace my idler pulley?

Common signs of a failing idler pulley include a squealing or grinding noise coming from the engine bay, especially when the engine is running. You might also notice excessive belt vibration or premature wear on the belt itself.

Does this pulley come with any mounting hardware?

This Gates DriveAlign Idler Pulley is sold individually and typically includes the pulley itself. Mounting hardware, such as bolts, is usually reused from the original installation or may need to be purchased separately if damaged.
