Gates 36086 Accessory Drive Belt Idler Pulley - Air Conditioning

OE-Style Idler Pulley for Accessory Drive Systems

The Gates DriveAlign Premium OE Pulley 36086 is an accessory drive belt idler pulley built for OE-quality fit in passenger cars and light trucks. It uses a steel construction with a smooth backside contact surface and a 78 mm outside diameter for applications that use a non-grooved pulley in the air conditioning drive system.

Gates DriveAlign Premium OE Pulley components are part of a product line focused on direct-fit replacement pulleys for accessory drive belt systems. This pulley is used where the original design calls for a locked center tensioning pulley, an automatic belt tensioner pulley, or an idler pulley, depending on the vehicle application.
