Title: Idler Pulley 4.0 ZJ
Post by: ScruffyDoug on March 06, 2017, 12:47:04 PM

Hi folks, been a while since I was last here, but looking for help sourcing a replacement idler pulley for my 4.0 1996 ZJ.

The outer body of the grooved pulley below the alternator has stripped away from the centre hub. Been looking online all morning, but all the replacements I can find are for just the upper smooth pulley not the lower grooved one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers

Call Lighthouse Jeep on 01953 681237.


I picked up that same pulley from them when I visited before Christmas and it's fixed a lot of very strange noises the ZJ was making!

Very impressed!  Spoke to Lighthouse yesterday morning, and new part arrived by courier at lunchtime today. Everything fitted back together and running smoothly and quietly once more (well, as quietly as an old 4.0 ZJ can run anyway!)
