Regular maintenance, including visual inspections and routine replacement, can help prevent timing belt failure. Mechanics typically look for signs of wear such as cracks, fraying, or signs of oil contamination, which can significantly reduce the belt's effectiveness. Additionally, timing belt replacement often coincides with other maintenance tasks, such as water pump replacement, since these components are located in the same area and may experience similar wear.

The power steering pump drive belt is a rubber belt that connects the pump to the engine's crankshaft. It transfers rotational energy from the engine to the pump, allowing it to pressurize the hydraulic fluid. This pressure is essential for assisting the driver in steering the vehicle, especially at lower speeds where greater effort is needed. Over time, this belt can wear out due to heat, friction, and general stress, leading to reduced power steering efficiency or system failure.
