I replaced the idler pulley yesterday on my 08' IS350 , and confirmed that the tensioner pulley was very worn.

Replacing the whole tensioner assembly seems ridiculous, especially how difficult it is to remove on this car.

Anyone tried this, or familiar with this company? Looks like it could be an option to replace just the pulley.

To keep costs down the maker is wise enough to use standard size common bearings. That said if the aftermarket uses a reputable made component, you should be fine.

Just keep in mind that if the tensioner spring is weakened over time or is binding (pivot is binding) there may be a need to replace the whole assembly.
