Timken bearings =/= quality

Gokhan I'm not sure I understand your point? I don't see any issue with that set up, especially since that bearing looks like you could replace it possibly, or at the very least pick off the seal to clean and grease it if it starts getting noisy. I have had very good results doing that in a number of vehicles.

Nippondenso OEM bearing isn't a standard bearing that you could replace. Sure, I could have removed the seals and try regreasing it but I didn't bother. I'm still keeping the OEM Nippondenso pulley/bearing in case.

That one should be okay, there is a big difference between beating made by NTN in Taiwan and one my by whoflungdung in China.

I would be OK with that Dayco setup. IMO, it's one of the better quality parts that Dayco makes.
