Belts are not just clothing items, there are many belts on your car. You have a serpentine belt and timing belt, all of which will need servicing over the course of your vehicle ownership. We're here to detail how you can help maintain your belts in the meantime.
Over time, these belts wear, get cracks, and can become misaligned. This can lead to a squealing noise, misalignment, and other serious issues. So, you should be able to notice when this happens especially if you hear a squealing noise but also learn a few tips. One such tip is every time you get an oil change, to have your belts inspected and know that usually, every 60,000 to 100,000 miles is when old or damaged belts need replacement. If you see more than three cracks in a one-inch space on your vehicle's belt, that is when you should get it replaced. Other signs are power steering failure and an overheating engine.
