Review on πŸ”§ Gates 38009 DriveAlign Belt Tensioner Pulley for Drive Systems by Bernard Foley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Perfect fit, smooth operation but doesn't look as reliable as OEM.

Used to replace the original pulley on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fits perfectly and the bearing is smooth as silk. The bearing in the old one began to crunch a little. However, there is a deduction of 1 point because the reinforcing "ribs" on this part are significantly thinner than on the original part. I can only hope it holds up to abuse like the original.

Pros
  • Steel and thermoplastic construction designed to tight manufacturing tolerances for high strength and quality.
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
