OEM Idler Pulley Bracket for 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder models equipped with the VQ35DE powertrain. 

The Idler Pulley Bracket is a component of the engine's accessory drive system that holds the idler pulley in place. The idler pulley helps to maintain proper tension on the drive belt and ensures smooth operation of the accessory components. 

Here are some signs that the idler pulley bracket may need to be replaced:

• Excessive play or movement: If the idler pulley bracket becomes worn or damaged, it may develop excessive play or movement. This can result in the idler pulley not being held securely in place, leading to belt misalignment or excessive belt wear.
• Noise or squealing: A worn or damaged idler pulley bracket can cause the idler pulley to vibrate or wobble, leading to noise or squealing sounds coming from the engine. This can occur when the drive belt slips or rubs against the pulley or other engine components.
• Visible damage: If the idler pulley bracket appears visibly cracked, bent, or broken, it is a clear indication that it needs to be replaced.
• Difficulty in belt tensioning: If the idler pulley bracket is not functioning properly, it may hinder the ability to properly tension the drive belt. This can result in a loose or overly tight belt, affecting the performance of the engine's accessory components.

Replace your insufficient Idler Pulley Bracket with this genuine Nissan replacement part.
