Message	the idlers they sale are either from SKF, NTN or GMB. SKF is a well established name and their bearings are second to none. They supply parts to MAYOR companies (not only automotive). For any of you guys interested, check this out: [ www.skf.com ] I don't know much about NTN's reputation, but I do know they are NISSAN supliers. Two facts: 1-they have some awards from NISSAN. 2- Take a look at the NISSAN part number 13077-F6200 (idler pulley for the tt) and check the specification column. It comes from NTN. [ http://www.ntnamerica.com/pages/ntnhome.htm ] I don't trust GMB as much. I'm not saying their parts aren't good, it is just I don't know them. Only that they sell to most korean auto manufacturers. If you want to take a look at their site: [ http://www.gmb.co.kr/eng/e_main.html ] I don't mean to start a dispute on whether people should buy OEM parts or not. That is a personal decision. All I'm trying to say is in the first two cases, I'd go for them head first. In fact, I'll place and order for both idlers (I need to replace them).
