In the past, the production of timing belts was a straightforward process, but today, technological innovations have revolutionized the industry. Manufacturers now employ computer-aided design (CAD) systems and finite element analysis (FEA) to model and simulate the performance of belts under various conditions before they are even made. This high level of precision helps in identifying potential weaknesses and optimizing the design for durability and performance.

The drive belt plays a vital role not only in the function of the power steering system but also in the overall performance of the vehicle. A well-functioning drive belt ensures that the power steering pump operates at optimal levels, providing the necessary assistance for easy maneuvering. If the belt begins to show signs of wear, such as cracks or fraying, it can slip or break, resulting in a loss of power steering. This can make steering difficult, particularly during parking or at slow speeds, creating a safety hazard.
