Default Another XJR belt squeak post

After some deep diving into the search engines, I have come up somewhat empty. I have some belt squealing going on and really want to get it right the first time and not have the car torn apart for a week waiting for parts and such.

My intention is to replace all the bearings themselves, as I do not want to perform the double groove belt upgrade, and don't want to spend extra dollars on replacing all the pulleys when I have the tools to just swap the bearings themselves.

That being said, does anyone have a list of bearing numbers for the idlers and tensioners? Or can confirm that these bearings will fit? I saw this post referenced on the 308 page a few times, but I could not find out if they actually did fit.

Solved my own problem. In case anyone else looks. Yes, they are the same. If you are doing idlers and tensioners you need:
1xSKF 6303-2RSH/C3 and 3xFAG 6203.2RSR

I would also recommend doing the belt too. I am waiting on parts, but spent a tad cross-referencing part numbers to make sure.

I would buy on Ebay or local to make sure you get genuine parts. Or somewhere other than Amazon.
