Product Description

The Gates 36472 is a DriveAlign Premium OE accessory drive belt idler pulley designed as a direct replacement for 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4 and 2008-2015 Scion xB models. It replaces OEM Toyota part number 16603-28020 and cross-references with Dayco 89180, ContiTech 50048, and Litens 900606A. The idler pulley guides and maintains proper tension in the serpentine belt system, supporting the alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump, water pump, and other accessories.

Gates builds the 36472 to DriveAlign Premium OE standards, using steel and thermoplastic construction with application-specific bearings rated to handle the speed, load, and temperature demands of these Toyota/Scion applications. Tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother pulley surfaces help extend accessory belt life and reduce vibration and noise. When a drive belt is replaced, replacing the idler pulley at the same time is recommended to avoid belt misalignment and premature wear from a tired bearing.
