07 belt chirp after new Gates brand water pump

unfortunately, aftermaket parts for toyotas are never worth it, you really have to get factory parts when it comes to service parts or youll have a headache otherwise

not typicaly true....tho when it comes to "hard" parts like alt/waterpump etc ALWAYS compare the original to the new part..its how you catch the variant and flawed junk BEFORE it goes on

i actualy have the same issues with ALL of my vintage stuff from the alfas to the mopars....quality control on replacement parts is NOT what it used to be
