Gates 10-13 Chevrolet Camaro / 05-13 Corvette Base DriveAlign Idler Pulley

This is the Gates DriveAlign Idler Pulley, part number 36348. It's a direct replacement for the idler pulley found on a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro (2010-2015), Chevrolet Corvette (2005-2013), and Cadillac CTS (2004-2015). The idler pulley's job is to guide and tension the serpentine belt, ensuring it stays in place and maintains the correct pressure on the accessory components it drives, like the alternator and power steering pump.

Gates builds these pulleys with durable materials to withstand the constant rotation and heat generated by the engine. The bearing inside is designed for smooth operation and longevity, helping to prevent premature wear and noise. When your old idler pulley starts to go bad, you might hear a squealing or grinding noise, or notice the belt wobbling. Replacing it with a well-built unit like this Gates pulley will restore proper belt tension and quiet things down.

This pulley is designed as a direct fit, meaning it bolts right into the original location without needing any modifications. It's a straightforward replacement that can help keep your engine running smoothly and quietly.
