Genuine Ford Belts

There are quite a few moving parts under the hood of your vehicle, and most, such as your crankshaft and power steering, move thanks to the factory-installed belts.

Types of Belts

The first type of belt is one of the most important. That's the timing belt, or timing chain, which is notched. It aids the crankshaft with turning the camshaft. If it breaks, your engine will stop running.

You also have serpentine belts, which are also known as drive belts. This works with the idler, tensioner, and pulleys within the accessory drive belt system to power the air conditioning, power steering, alternator, and more. If these break, you're usually still able to drive for a while.

How to Spot Bad Belts

Make a regular habit of inspecting your belts. Signs of failure include:

• Cracked or frayed belts
• Loose or slack belts
• Overly tight belts

If you do need to replace a worn belt, make sure that you choose the right ones for your vehicle.
