## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great idler
*by W***B on July 11, 2024*

I have used several of these on various cars and trucks and have had no issues at all. A good quality idler at a reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit on 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 non-turbo
*by C***H on March 27, 2024*

I was tempted to get the cheaper plastic tensioner replacement I see on Amazon but wanted the metal one. I'm GLAD I did, because I discovered bad pulley on the car was actually one of the plastic aftermarket type replaced at some point in the past. This was a perfect fit, feels very solid, and absolutely worth a few extra bucks for the quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Tensioner Pulley for 2007 Subaru Outback
*by F***R on September 25, 2017*

The pulley seems to be of good quality-it is made of metal like the original in my 2007 Subaru Outback, and the bearing action is nice and smooth. The original, after more than 200,000 miles, would squeal a bit when starting the car on cold winter mornings, so I replaced it a few weeks ago when I replaced head gaskets and timing belt. The trick to taking the old one apart is to remove the nut and tap the stud out wit a hammer and punch, being careful to avoid damaging the threads. You can also replace the tensioner assembly with Dorman part 917-124 or OEM parts from the Subaru dealer if you want to get a new stud and nut. I've had this on on for several hundred miles, so far so good.After a few months and several thousand miles in service, including some cold winter days, I am pleased to report that this pulley continues to spin away happily without any squealing.
