One worn part is often a sign that the rest aren’t far behind. In this Cloyes Tech Byte, we discuss the importance of treating your accessory drive as a complete system.

While it might be tempting to only replace a squeaky belt or a shaky tensioner, belts, pulleys, and tensioners all share the same workload and environmental stress. Internal wear on bearings and springs isn’t always visible to the naked eye, but it can lead to premature failure of your new parts.

In this video, you’ll learn:

-Why accessory drive components wear at the same rate.

-The hidden dangers of internal wear in tensioners and pulleys.

-How a complete kit replacement saves time and money in the long run.
