Built from EPDM rubber with a special multi-rib construction, this belt is made to resist cracking, reduce operational noise and match or exceed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. It’s intended for mechanics and DIYers who need a reliable serpentine belt to drive alternators, power steering pumps, air conditioning compressors and other accessory pulleys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this Micro-V belt different from a standard V-belt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Micro-V design uses multiple narrow ribs to increase surface contact with pulleys while keeping the belt flexible.
