OEM Idler Pulley Bracket Bolt for 1996-2002 Nissan Pathfinder models equipped with the VG33E powertrain. 

The Idler Pulley Bracket Bolt is a component that secures the idler pulley bracket to the engine block or other supporting structure. It is designed to provide stability and support to the idler pulley, which helps to maintain proper tension on the drive belt. 

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

• Loose or missing bolt: If the bolt becomes loose or falls out, it can cause the idler pulley bracket to become unstable or detached. This can lead to belt misalignment, noise, and potential damage to other components.
• Damage or wear: Over time, the bolt may become worn, stripped, or damaged due to factors like vibration, heat, or improper installation. If the bolt appears visibly worn, cracked, or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
• Belt misalignment or tension issues: A faulty idler pulley bracket bolt can lead to belt misalignment, which can cause belt slippage, noise, or improper operation of accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, or air conditioning compressor.

Additionally, if the idler pulley bracket is being replaced or if any issues related to the drive belt system are encountered, it is advisable to replace the bolt as a precautionary measure.
