My 2011 jsw is at 58k miles original timing belt. I'm planning to cha he it soon just because I don't trust that the rubber will last to 120 at the rate I accumulate miles.
My question is should I bother replacing the idlers, tensioner and other stuff? If I was changing because of miles I would no doubt, but I have had bad luck in the past with replacement water pumps specifically failing prematurely.
I'm doing it myself so labor is free and I have to tools, so would I be crazy to just put a new belt only.and keep running the hard parts for another 60k?
