Reliable Quality

Our double flange idler assemblies come complete with double lip seals that are pressure tested during production at the factory to lock out dirt and contaminants and lock the lubrication in for long-lasting reliable service you can rely on, backed by a factory warranty against failure.

Alternate Idler

You may have a triple flange idler (348-9647) with an extra flange down the center of the idler for added stability. If you need help locating your exact part please let us know. The triple flange idler is typically on XHP models.
