• Accessory drive noise affecting water pump or power steering operation
• Routine maintenance on older Hyundai, Mitsubishi, or Dodge belt systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing before installation and compare the old belt to the replacement part number 17245DR. Confirm the vehicle uses the water pump to power steering configuration, since belt routing can vary by engine and accessory layout. Inspect pulleys and tensioning components for wear before installing the new belt.
