Review on 🔩 Gates 38030 DriveAlign Belt Drive Idler Pulley with Tensioner by Chris Rob

Bought this to replace my kid's 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX A/C belt tensioner as the old one whined loud enough to hear 2 blocks away. Installation took about 15 minutes. Tools needed: a 10mm socket for removing the plastic cover from the straps and a 12mm socket for everything else. The extension speeds up the work. The old Subaru OEM idler pulley is a cheaper plastic part. This replacement looks way better than the Subaru OEM. Of course, since the Subaru has lasted 14 years and 125,000 miles. I think that was enough. After installation, the car is quieter than it has been since I bought it, so I suspect the idle has been missing for a while. Couldn't be happier with this pulley.
