Product Details

The Gates RPM timing component kit line is built for complete timing service, combining the timing belt, idlers, tensioner, and water pump in one service package. Gates TCKWP328RB is intended for vehicles where the water pump is driven by the timing belt, so replacing both together helps streamline maintenance on Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Baja, and Saab 9-2X applications. This part cross-references WPK43548RB for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Water pump leakage or cooling system service during timing repair
• Noisy or worn idler and tensioner components
• Timing system service on interference engine applications
• Repeat labor from replacing timing components separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Follow the vehicle service procedure and verify engine code and VIN details before installation. This kit includes an installation tool, which can help with timing component service and alignment during replacement. Because this is an interference engine application, correct timing alignment is essential during reassembly. Confirm fitment for 2004-2007 Subaru Forester, 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza, 2004-2006 Subaru Baja, 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy, 2005-2009 Subaru Outback, and 2005 Saab 9-2X before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies OE-style timing components for service applications, and the RPM timing component kit line is built around replacing critical timing system parts together.
