OEM Lincoln Belts

The factory belts on your Lincoln sedan or SUV help move many parts and systems. Without them, your vehicle wouldn't operate as smoothly or efficiently. In fact, your vehicle wouldn’t move at all if not for some belts.

Types of Belts

Your timing belt may be the most essential belt of all, at least when it comes to driving your Lincoln. Also known as a timing chain, it connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. It moves both in sync with the pistons' pumping. If it breaks, your engine will stop immediately.

You also have serpentine belts, or drive belts as some call them. They help run systems such as the power steering, alternator, water pump, and more. If these break, you typically can drive for a while longer – though it probably won't be a comfortable ride.

How to Tell When a Belt Needs to be Replaced

It's always a good idea to check your belts on a regular basis to ensure that they're in good shape. If you spot any of the following signs, go ahead and change the belt:

• Cracked or frayed belt material
• Overly slack or loose belts
• Belts that are overtightened
• You hear a squealing noise from under the hood
