Genuine Japanese NSK bearing for idler pulley.

For any of you die hard japanese/OEM/Anti-chinese sticklers like myself out there.

After much searching I finally found a genuine Japanese NSK replacement bearing for the idler pulley.

BD20-15T12DD

I ordered mine through this company.

They were very good to work with.

When I ordered mine, about 3 weeks ago, there were only 8 left in stock.

 

Mines about ready to need replacing. This is good to know. Thanks for researching and sharing

 

I got mine from rock auto, installed it a couple of days ago. It was indeed made in Japan. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10445692&cc=1357938&pt=6956&jsn=383

 

Honestly, I just go with the Gates belt, pully and idler kit from Rock Auto. It’s like $80 and I replace everything when I do a timing belt. At 90-100k it’s all still well within its service life.

I think it’s made in Mexico.

And there isn’t much I don’t go OEM. But if it’s easy to replace or much cheaper than OEM I’ll go aftermarket. For example, Carrier Bearing, Timken, Sway Bar Links Moog.

 

Is this a continuation of the other thread?? Asking for a friend...

 

I love corn.
