The power steering belt, also known as the serpentine belt or drive belt, is a rubber component that connects the power steering pump to the engine. Its primary function is to transmit rotational power from the engine’s crankshaft to the power steering pump, which in turn helps to assist the driver in steering the vehicle. By providing easier steering effort, particularly at lower speeds, the power steering belt enhances overall driving comfort and control.

The timing belt is tasked with controlling the timing of the engine’s functions. It is responsible for the precise timing of the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft, influencing the opening and closing of the engine’s valves. This synchronization is critical because if the camshaft is out of time with the crankshaft, the engine may skip a tooth, leading to catastrophic engine failure. Thus, the timing belt acts as a pivotal element in the smooth operation of your car’s engine.
