Product Details

The K030323 uses a K-section profile with three ribs, making it a direct replacement style belt for accessory drive systems that route power to the water pump and alternator.

• Supporting stable accessory drive performance on OE-style systems

Installation Notes

Verify belt routing against the vehicle’s accessory drive diagram before installation. Inspect pulleys, tensioner condition, and alignment so the new belt can track correctly. Confirm the K-section profile, 3-rib design, and measured length match the original belt specification for your application. For fitment, this belt is listed for 1989-1995 Geo Metro, 1994-1995 Pontiac Firefly, 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly, 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift, 1992 Chevrolet Metro, and 1989-1992 Chevrolet Sprint.
