What problems can a bad idler pulley cause
1 Reply
A "bad" idler pulley is one where the bearing is worn, causing the pulley to make noise and possibly bind or seize. If this happens, the belt can be thrown off and cause a loss of all accessories (like the power steering pump, alternator and water pump).
