X2 although I would recommend replacing the serp belt at 50K mile intervals or 6years whichever comes first and inspecting the idlers at that time for leaking grease, replace if leaking. You can elect to routinely replace the idlers including the one on the serp belt tensioner as they are all the same. However, IMHO bearings are funny things as they can last forever or go immediately; that said these are sealed bearings so if not leaking grease they should be ok and they should make loud bad bearing noises before going. If you do replace the bearings an alternative to Mopar is NAPA 36101 (just lose the big washer) or Precision Parts EP101
