steering idler pulley, or bearing available...?
Hello. I cannot find power steering idler pulley, or bearing. Mine is worn and screachy.... Mazdatrix only shows one for AC which is different. None of the parts stores here are any help. No mazda dealer...
From what I can make out the part number for the bearing is: NSK 6203DU
Anybody know where to find one?
Thanks.

Turns out that is the wrong pulley. It is for A/C and they are different. I cannot find a powersteering pulley anywhere. A/C pulley on left.

Thanks guys. I ended up finding a bearing that fits at Ace hardware of all places. Pressed it in and so far so good. No more screaching at higher rpm's.
Thanks for all the offers for help. I appreciate it.

^ glad you found a way...but keep an eye on it. Make sure the bearing is adequate for the application (i.e. not a utility cheapo bearing).
When I replaced both idler bearings I just took off the snap ring holding the p/s one and followed the part number on it, and even specified the same brand. Don't wanna mess with it sooner than I have to, even though it's an easy job.

you're awesome. I ran into the same problem. since I'm not using A/C I just switched pulleys. Apparently there were two different types of pulleys made for the FC chassis. Staked small diameter bearings and snapring set large diameter bearings. Only the small diameter pulleys are available now. I hope I can find the proper bolt for the small diameter, because now I have a brand new pulley with no use. My large diameter P/S pulley doesn't have a snapring but my A/C does. Odd, both are large diameter.
