Automotive Belts Online

There are many belts at work in your vehicle, helping to move all kinds of parts and systems. In fact, the more parts and systems in your car, SUV, pickup, or van, the more belts you'll find.

The Three Types of Belts

First, there's the timing belt. It's a notched belt that connects the crankshaft to the camshaft, allowing valves and pistons to operate in sync. If it breaks, your engine will stop running almost immediately. If you drive a newer model, though, your vehicle may have a more durable timing chain instead.

Serpentine belts team with the tensioner, idler pulley, and crank pulley to move parts like the alternator and power steering. Lastly, there are drive belts. These run off the crank pulley and run such parts as the water pump and radiator fan. If a serpentine or drive belt fails, you typically have a bit of time to resolve the issue before things worsen. Inspecting your belts on a regular basis can prevent failure, though.
