Default belt tensioner pulley
mine sounds like it has a bad bearing. it squeaks like crazy. should i just get the replacement at an auto parts store, or is there an aftermarket upgrade? thanks for the help in advance!

Goodyear makes a replacement pulley. Should cost $10-20.

like SSdreamz said there is a thread about how to do that somewhere on here.

and also Katech makes a great tensioner, but it aint cheap.
