So i was driving on the freeway today on my way home and as i turn off the off ramp my steering starts to feel heavy as if the power steering went out my house isnt that far off the freeway so i risk it and go home, when i get home i open my hood to find that the front belt is broken im not the most car tech savy person but after searching i found that we dont have timing belts but timing chains so what was broken most likely wasnt the timing chain, now my question is what belt is this and is it a easy fix? i want to make sure i know what the problem is before i go into get it fixed so i dont get ripped off, also is this belt related to power steering? as my power steering went off as this broke thanks in advanced!

 

dood you are one lucky guy...that belt runs a couple other vital components i think

 

there are two belts in the car one skinny one and one fat one. if u can tell me what one broke i can help u out.

 

Damn, you have a clutch fan... I bet your car is loud when you first start it eh?

Sorry about your problems, kinda curious to which belt broke.........

 

Replace both of them from AutoZone or equivalent, very easy to do. Search for A/C belt changing...

 

the belt in the last picture is the one that broke is it hard to tell which belt it is from that picture? how do i tell the difference in the too

 

are these belts related to power steering?

Edit nevermind one belt if for ac and the other is for power steering

 

I just recently replaced both belts.. my suggestion if one broke.. its only gonna be a few months till the other breaks if that.. I got both belts off Struas Auto and it cost me $25.. i installed them myself and only took 30 mins.. loosen 2 bolts.. take off the old belts, put the new ones on, and tighten up the bolts.. as far as other components it might affect i have no clue.. but i strongly suggest getting them both replaced..

 

ok ill get them both replaced is there a diy anywhere?

 

I would do a search.. if you can't find any its really simple.. just loosen on of the bolts till u feel the belt get loose.. and same for the other belt.. *might need to loosen two bolts...

 

ok i found it for anyone else interested heres the link
thanks for the quick responses guys!

oh btw i think both of my belts broke lol im lucky im made it home with no problems so far.. hopefully everything goes good tommorow after i install new belts

Look for "Drive Belts Replacement"

 

Dang... good thing I am dropping my car off at the dealer today for a battery test (to see why my ish keeps draining batteries) and also to get the belts looked at. I started it the other day and until it warms up it is squeaking really bad.
