Keep your accessory drive belt tracking true and running quietly with the Hayden Accessory Drive Belt Idler Assembly / Idler Pulley (MPN 5942). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a range of 1980s Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, riding against the accessory drive belt to guide its path around the engine's front accessories.

An idler pulley bears against the drive belt to route it and help keep it properly aligned. As the pulley bearing wears, you may notice belt squeal, a rumbling or grinding noise from the pulley area, or a visibly wobbling pulley — signs this part may need replacing.

  • Direct-fit replacement: designed to install on the listed applications.
  • Guides the accessory drive belt: helps maintain proper belt routing and alignment around the front-of-engine accessories.
  • Idler assembly: listed under both names — Accessory Drive Belt Idler Assembly and Idler Pulley.
