Belts

The belts under the hood of your Ford are very important components that you need to regularly check and maintain. There are several belts that all serve different purposes. There is the timing belt, which helps to control the movements of your crankshaft and camshaft in your engine. If the timing belt starts to wear out, it can cause collisions within parts of your engine that can lead to severe damage. There is also your serpentine belt, also known as a drive belt, which sends power to a variety of components that your car relies on. You can experience decreased power in these accessories or a total loss of power if your serpentine belt is severely damaged.It's important to look for signs that your belts might be wearing out. First off, you can perform a visual inspection of these parts. Check to see if there are any notches coming apart on the belts or fraying on them at all. You can also listen for sounds of issues. Loud screeching or squealing noises are never good signs when it comes to your belts. You can find OEM replacement belts for your Ford here on our sites so you can make repairs with confidence.
