2.7 Lower Idler Bolt

Anyone out there able to source the bolt and bushing/spacer for the lower idler? I replaced my idler with a gates one and the bolt spacer has gone MIA. i have a bolt and washers in there temp but cant really tighten it down without putting too much preload on bearings. Toyota will only sell the bolt with the idler. Thanks for any ideas you have.

Gates sells a half decent selection of bushings, and some of the common bolts, too. I'm not near a real computer to really try to help you, but there's a good chance they make what you need.

They make a shop tray assortment, might try googling it for a pic and looking for the part # you need inside the lid.

Hint* You can click the Part # in the picture for the full part number.
Don’t click the actual part, click the Part Number.

Do make sure that the Frame Code is the same as yours.
You can check your door sticker.
It’s the same sticker that has the tire pressures listed on it.

 

If you have a hard time finding it.
Look under Electrical, then Heat and Air.
I guess they put it there, because it mounts to the A/C mounting bracket.

 

Thanks for the replies, I'm gonna start working through the links provided!

 

TnShooter, the link you provided took me to the same offering as the parts person showed, gave me part 88440-25070 which includes the pulley. I did use that part to find a aliexpress 20$ combo that i can just toss the pulley and use the bolt. Thank you.
