We must know that Aisin has now following 34 related companies in China and 3 in Taiwan.
I found that many parts of Aisin were now made in China (中国).

Wow, Now I see why Japanese people are so smart. I don't think I could ever learn to read that info. I think it is so cool that it all means something. So I guess that last info in ( ) means made in china? I glad you posted this.
Does it mean that factory OEM parts are made in China as well?

All those made in china symbols are at the very right hand side. So this all just verifies what I have been saying about OEM parts now being made in china. You may think your getting one made in Japan when really its china.
And that is where all those bad airbag inflators were made, imagine that. Oh and most all our bandages are made there too. And lets not forget the pet food and treats that killed peoples dogs.

Now that I think of it, I think a tensioner came with the Aisin timing belt kit

If the fan bracket is failing, you should be able to see metal shavings under the pulley itselt, its hard to see with the fan still on. You can go with an aftermarket one, because oem from lexus is easily over $200. Dont use aftermarket parts for something as serious as a water pump, the only aftermarket brand i would use is aisin. Ive been a toyota tech for 6 years, rarely do I ever replace tensioners. Check your idlers and your bearing for the fan bracket.
