Gates Engine Timing Idler P/N:T42035

Keep the timing belt tracking true with the Gates Engine Timing Idler T42035, the upper idler pulley that guides and supports the timing belt along its intended path. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-1999 Ford Contour, 1998-1999 Ford Escort, 1999 Mercury Cougar, and 1998-1999 Mercury Mystique.

• Belt-path guidance: Provides a smooth rolling surface for the timing belt so it stays aligned as the engine runs.
• Upper position: Cataloged for the upper idler location in the timing system.
• Direct-fit replacement: Installs on the listed applications to replace a worn or noisy original idler.

Signs the original idler may need replacing include bearing noise, roughness or play when spun by hand, or wobble in the timing belt. If a failed upper idler is the cause of those symptoms, this replaces it; diagnose the source before ordering, and inspect the belt and related components while the front of the engine is open.
