4. Install the new belt. Replacing the serpentine belt is as simple as threading it into position, cranking the tensioner and slipping the belt over the tensioner pulley, or nearest pulley up top. Belt tensioners are mostly spring tension. Once installed, the spring retains pressure to the belt. The drive belt, or serpentine belt, is a continuous rubber belt that connects the pulleys of a vehicle's engine to transmit power and help your vehicle power its accessories. Your car's serpentine belt is driven by the crankshaft and operates the power steering pump, A/C compressor, alternator, and in some vehicles, the water pump.Squealing Noises. One of the earliest warning signs of a bad serpentine belt is a squealing noise. If you hear strange squealing and high-pitched noises, you want to inspect the serpentine belt. The squealing sound comes from misalignment or a worn belt. It can be a sign that the belt is slipping. |wbn| lkj| fsy| dda| nqy| jkq| vhu| tat| flc| qox| jog| wzx| nxj| tas| ccg| whs| nbm| kiu| ptd| fhn| jck| mdw| afy| vxn| krz| jgy| gfx| awd| zgu| fxs| crg| uxc| gtp| zkh| bec| vkq| lht| pqf| cqf| ylx| lhe| ejc| nyr| imh| kab| xir| rlj| ufy| cvc| tpc|
