Smooth Automotive Experience

I recently purchased a timing idler for my car and it has made a huge difference in the smoothness of the operation .Based on my observations, the idler is enhancing the overall automotive experience by providing a quieter ride and smoother transitions. The durable construction of the pulley also ensures long-lasting performance. The only downside is that it is slightly pricey compared to other idlers in the market but the quality more than justifies the cost..

Pros
  • Smooth operation, quieter ride, durable construction.
Cons
  • Slightly pricey compared to others in market.

Looks the same as the original part

Looks the same as the original part. I thought I needed a new one, but it turns out I didn't put the old one on correctly when I was making the timing belt. Be sure to slide the flat head forward before tightening or the tension on the strap will loosen and make it jump.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Out of style
