Product Details

The Roadmax brand line focuses on standard replacement belts for budget-conscious repairs where correct fit and reliable everyday operation matter more than premium-duty performance. The 4K233AP follows that approach with EPDM construction and a 4-rib profile sized for accessory drive systems that route power to components such as the alternator, power steering pump, or water pump. This part cross-references Gates K040233 for the same application.

Compatible vehicle applications include 1995-2003 Hyundai Accent, water pump to power steering; 1994-1996 Mitsubishi Mirage, water pump to power steering; 1993 Mitsubishi Mirage, power steering; 1986-1991 Buick Skylark, water pump to alternator; and 1986-1991 Pontiac Grand Am, water pump to alternator. The 4K233AP also appears in select Oldsmobile Calais and Cutlass Calais applications, plus Mazda 626 alternator setups with A/C.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine belt
• Cracking, glazing, or visible belt wear
• Loss of accessory drive tension or belt tracking issues
• Charging, steering, or cooling accessory drive concerns tied to belt condition
• Routine maintenance on older Hyundai Accent, Mitsubishi Mirage, Buick Skylark, or Pontiac Grand Am applications

Installation Notes

Verify belt routing, rib count, and measured length before installation. Confirm the accessory drive layout on the vehicle, since this part is listed for multiple positions including water pump to power steering, power steering, water pump to alternator, and alternator applications. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, and compare the old belt to the Roadmax 4K233AP to confirm the correct profile.
