Belts And Hoses

Belts and hoses are essential vehicle components vital to the function of many working parts under the hood. To catch problems with these parts sooner versus later, you should be checking the condition of the belts and hoses on a regular basis. For belts, when you look at them, see if there are any rips or tears in the material. The notches or ribs on the belts might start to pull apart if they are wearing out. Squealing noises coming from the belts in your vehicle can be caused by misalignment or wear and tear on the hoses. You also might notice power loss to different accessories, like your air conditioning or power steering. The hoses under your hood should be firm but pliable. You shouldn't find any mushy or soft spots on the hoses. Seeing leaking coolant under your vehicle is not a good sign, and could point to a hole or crack in the hose. Make sure you replace these parts as soon as you can so that your car can run smoothly. You can find OEM Toyota belts and hoses for sale here on our webstore, so shop today.
