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.

A V ribbed belt pulley is characterized by its unique design, featuring multiple grooves or ribs. These ribs help to grip the V ribbed belt more effectively than traditional flat belts, reducing slippage and enhancing power transmission. The design allows for a larger contact area between the belt and pulley, which improves traction and efficiency. Manufactured from materials such as steel, aluminum, or high-strength plastic, these pulleys are built to withstand various environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations and exposure to chemicals.
