one or two idler pulleys?
I've been told to replace my idler pulley by my mechanic. I'm ordering the parts off the net. I have a question.
If I look at www.oemwholesale.com, they quote a left and right idler pulley. If I look at www.lexus-parts.com, they list one idler pulley (no left or right specified).
Can someone help explain whether my 92 LS400 has one or two idler pulleys?
Thanks!

Hi! I just replaced the idlers on my 91LS.There is one idler pulley and one pulley on the timing belt tensioner.That must be what they mean by left and right?
I did my water pump while i was in there as the bearing had failed in that along with new timing belt.
Good as new!

Drivebelt?
Just to be clear.
I know that the serpentine Belt has a tensioner and an idler pulley , correct? Is this also called the "drivebelt"?
Does a timing belt also have a seperate tensioner & pulley system?
94 LS400 , damon

Note to self:
Yes! Timing Belt Pulleys are seperate systems & out of sight until TB covers & etc. are removed.
These are somewhat internal engine components, unvieweable until dismantling the outer cover of a 1 UZFE.

Timing belt has idler and tensioner pulleys. If I remember correctly, the right pulley is the tension and the left is the idler. Serpentine belt also has idler and tensioner pulleys.
