• Belt tracking issues caused by incorrect OE dimensions
• Replacement needs on Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback belt service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing against the vehicle’s underhood diagram before installation. Inspect pulleys, tensioner operation, and accessory alignment at the same time, since worn components can shorten belt life. Confirm fitment by year, model, and VIN detail where noted, especially for 2010-2011 Subaru Outback applications with VIN 4th digit B. Use the K060651 part number when matching the belt to the vehicle application.
