tensioner bearings

[93MTXSHO_STUD]

do any of yall know where I can get some cheap tensioner bearings? I can usually get them for 16 bucks a piece, but my guy says they stopped production of them except for a need-to-need basis. I can't get them till December. I know they sell them on some SHO websites for 30+ but I don't want to pay that much for them.

by tensioner, i mean the pulleys and not the timing belt tensioner bearing.

Only SHONUT has them 45$ for bearing only.

Don't even try to go to bearing shops , it's unavailable everywhere. Unless you buy them used.

theyre available if you look hard enough... I bought them from a company last time i need 2( two years ago) NSK makes the bearings on a need-to-need basis. I can only get them from the warehouse in Canada. Unfortunately my bearing is slowly going out. I might be able to nurse the bearing till December when i can get a few more bearings.

I have tried 3 bearing shops that the specialty is bearings ONLY. No luck there with the part # OR dimensions.

Back in the day , Ford still carried those , 200$ for a pulley , thank you for making Ford a little richer.

It's a Ford-only bearing; NSK is prohibited by contract to sell to anyone except Ford suppliers without written authorization from Ford.

If anyone could give me some numbers off the bearing, or the bearing dimensions, I might be able to do a group buy. My company buys thousands of bearings a year from a variety of suppliers.

Yea it's a Ford only bearing, but you can still get them. I bought 2 from a company a few years ago. I just order 4 more. 43 dollars a piece is ridiculous, well maybe because I'm a college student, but still. I might order 30 or so and ebay them if anyone is interested. I can get them for 17 bucks each. The guy said that if I order enough of them they might stop production to make these uncommon bearings.

Do any SLOs use this bearing?

to my knowledge this bearing is only for the V6 SHO's.
