What This Belt Helps Address

• Squealing or slipping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or fraying on the existing serpentine belt
• Loss of proper drive to alternator, power steering, or A/C accessories
• Incorrect belt length or rib count on metric import applications
• Drive belt replacement needs on Kia, Hyundai, and Mercedes-Benz models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing and match the rib count, width, and length before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s accessory drive configuration, since some listed applications note air conditioning or hydraulic power steering. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt to help maintain proper tracking.
