Cool, probably if one can't find the Dayco that you used, not worth it to get the $20 one with the cheapened bearing (after all the entire reason to replace is sound/noise)....I'll just take it off of the new tensioner...

I would still have to say nearly 100% positive with lots of reviews, I'm willing to use eBay.....it's nearly impossible to get online dealers to offer reasonable charges for shipping (too bad parts.com went OOB--go through their portal and it's the same dealers fulfilling the order at way less than they offer direct--some were the very ones on this forum!)...
