Product Details

This Gates DriveAlign idler pulley is built with a durable steel housing and a sealed bearing, designed to keep your serpentine belt tracking straight and true. A properly functioning idler pulley is crucial for the overall health of your engine's accessory drive system, ensuring components like your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor operate efficiently. When an idler pulley starts to wear out, you might notice noise like chirping or grinding coming from the front of your engine, or even see the belt wobbling. Replacing it with a Gates pulley means you're getting a part made to handle the constant tension and rotation it experiences day in and day out.

Gates uses a sealed bearing in this pulley to keep contaminants out and grease in, which helps extend its service life. The steel construction offers solid resistance to the elements under the hood. This particular pulley fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the 2004-2014 Acura TL, 2003-2013 Acura MDX, and 2003-2010 Honda Accord EX. Ensuring your idler pulley is in good shape is a straightforward way to prevent potential belt issues and keep your engine accessories running reliably.
