idler pulley

Looking to replace the idler pulley on my 94 5.0 and having trouble finding the correct one. It's the idler pulley above the tensioner. Looking for a metal one and I find them for the tensioner but not the idler above it. Are they the same part number? Would like motorcraft if I can.

Thanks in advance

Idler pulley

The bearing should be replaceable. Most times they are alternator bearings.

They are the same item. At least on mine anyway. So, a metal tensioner wheel will work as an idler, and vice versa.

Just a note to any body else...

Asking for the same part for a equivalent equipped F-250 usually gets you metal.
