Gates DriveAlign Belt Drive Idler / Tensioner Pulley Alternator – Nissan 350Z DE
36336 · 2003 to 2006
A rumbling, squealing, or wobbling alternator side idler pulley is one of the most common causes of accessory belt noise and premature belt wear on the 350Z VQ35DE. The Gates 36336 DriveAlign is a direct OEM replacement alternator and power steering belt idler pulley for the Nissan 350Z DE, built to OE specifications with bearings engineered to run cooler and last longer than the factory unit.
