If the belt is worn, slipping, squealing, or tracking incorrectly, inspect the tensioner assembly as well. A weak or noisy tensioner can shorten belt life and cause repeat belt problems.
What This Part is Used For
The engine belt transfers power through the belt drive system to related engine accessories. Proper belt condition is important for quiet operation, correct pulley tracking, and dependable accessory drive performance.
A belt should be replaced if it shows cracks, glazing, fraying, uneven wear, contamination, slipping, or noise. Because the belt works directly with the tensioner and pulleys, those parts should be inspected during the same service.
