Detailed Description

This Gates serpentine belt drive component kit is engineered to service the full accessory belt path rather than replacing only the belt. The kit includes an OE-equivalent belt, tensioner, and idler pulleys, which helps restore proper belt tracking and tension control in one repair. For Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner applications, replacing the complete drive system can reduce repeat repairs tied to worn pulleys or a weak tensioner. The 90K-38452C kit is part of Gates' Accessory Belt Drive Kit (Standard) line, focused on straightforward replacement of common wear items in the front accessory drive.

What It Helps Fix

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine belt drive
• Loss of belt tension from a fatigued tensioner
• Pulley noise caused by worn idler bearings
• Uneven belt wear from aging accessory drive components
• Repeat service issues when only the belt is replaced

Installation Notes and Tips
