Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is one of the listed non-AC applications before ordering. Confirm belt routing, rib count, and length against the original belt or service information before installation. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear or misalignment, since those conditions can shorten belt life and affect tracking.
