    That's the AC idler pulley by the way. The bearings have a tendency to go out in them on the 5VZ. When mine starting making noise, I ordered a Gates one for around $20, takes all of 10 min to replace.

    thank you. I just ordered a new bearing and will replace that since the pulley is still perfectly good. Just a bad bearing and its pretty easy and straight forward.
