Hello All!
I'd use the search, but I'm not even sure of the correct nomenclature for the part in question...
On my 1999 4.0 manual XJ Sport, it seem that the bearing on the fan pulley has taken a dump. I was alerted to this by the fan ever so slightly kissing the crank pulley, not enough to do damage but the sound sure got my attention! Luckily, this occurred at home as I was driving to the front gate. Upon opening the hood, I saw that the belt had crept about 1/4 of the way off the idler pulley, confirming that the bearing had failed. The cast bracket that supports the pulley and accessory's seems to be unavailable... Is that the case or am I missing something? Can anyone point me to a source for this part? New or used. If the part is indeed out of production, has any enterprising shop figured out a way to repair the bearing on the factory piece? Also, if you could direct me to any useful threads on the subject (I'm sure that this has been covered before), it would save me some much needed time and I'd be very grateful! Many thanks!
