The Mazda 3 Idler Pulley will ensure that the timing belt remains on its correct course so that drivers can always be sure that they are consistently delivering power whenever they flick the starter. The hardened steel construction of this small wheel is supported by a smooth, low-friction bearing that progressively presses on the back side of the belt and results in an increased wrap angle around the crank and cam gears so that horsepower is applied without slip. Owners like it as it is a spring-loaded and gravity-assisted tension system, and it automatically corrects heat stretch so that there is no wrench session between service intervals. Regardless of the model, whether a first-generation Mazda 3 that runs on an energetic 2.0 litre engine or the recent Skyactiv-X, the mounting points and sizes of the component will fit like a glove, and the car will drop in place, returning to factory-level accuracy. All Mazda 3 models have the same commitment to balanced hardware, and thus a single type of Idler Pulley can be applied on both hatchback and sedan models without having to cut or adjust it. The healthy belt route helps to cushion the valves against untimely blows, improves fuel usage by lowering drag, and helps to keep the under-hood sounds at a soft hum, which are major elements of the brand image of endurance. Bearings, when worn, might squeal, but changing to a new Idler Pulley is very cheap and restores smooth rotation immediately. The rim is designed to keep off-road dirt and water, which keeps the spin smooth even during salty winters or dusty summers. Since a timing system can have many Idler Pulleys, the guided path will follow compact engine bays in a tidy way and will allow safety equipment to be positioned so that the collision sensors and crumple zones remain exactly where the factory intended them to be. When one opts to go with the real Mazda hardware, each rotation will be balanced and efficient, and years away from failure.
