A new belt will have a traditional \u201cV\u201d profile in the grooves between the ribs. On a worn EPDM belt, however, the groove profile will have the appearance of a \u201cU\u201d. One of the best ways to measure wear is by using a device like the Dayco Awearness Gauge, which helps you inspect a belt three different ways \u2013 by analyzing rib depth, checking rib profile and identifying cracks. If your belt has 90,000 miles or more, it is definitely time to change it.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46408\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#c59f373ua9\" >\r\n\t\tHow do I know if my timing belt has been replaced?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"c59f373ua9\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/belts\/' title='Belts' class='pt-cv-tax-belts'>Belts<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Without maintenance history of a car, the best possible way is to check CarFax for a repair history report, ask the previous owner, or look for a sticker under the hood indicating it has been changed. If all these fail, best course is to have a technician inspect it. Some OEMs recommend replacement as early as 30,000 miles, while others suggest maintenance around 100,000 miles. While timing belts are relatively inexpensive, if one breaks while the engine is running, it could cost thousands of dollars in damage so it\u2019s important to be proactive. The best course of action is to change the belt if you cannot verify that it has been replaced at the OE suggested intervals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46414\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#eb360f3nc0\" >\r\n\t\tOn a timing belt repair, which timing mark is for the camshaft and which is for the crankshaft?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"eb360f3nc0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/belts\/' title='Belts' class='pt-cv-tax-belts'>Belts<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Most timing belts will have two double dotted line marks and 4 to 6 solid marks.

Proper timing belt installation is critical to engine performance and long belt life.

To rectify the problem, we suggest the following steps:\n<ul>\n<li>Properly tension manual applications during installation (35 lbs. per rib) and then re-tension after 5 minutes of run-in (30 lbs. per rib). This allows the belt to seat in the pulleys.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On vehicles with automatic belt tensioners, the tensioner pulley should turn freely without binding. The tensioner arm should move smoothly through its entire range of motion and there should be adequate tension. Always check the tensioner bearing for noise and wear. Replace any tensioner where the bearing feels rough or the pulley has signs of excessive run-out (wobble).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With the belt removed, inspect all accessory pulleys and idlers to ensure free and smooth rotation. If there is binding or rough rotation (dry bearing), then the pulley and\/or accessory should be replaced.<\/li>\n<li>Check for contamination. If the belt has been in contact with motor oil, power steering fluid, antifreeze or any other petroleum-based lubricant, it will cause the EPDM belt to swell, leading to noise. Other than washer fluid, replace any serpentine belt that has been oil soaked. NEVER try to solve issues with belt dressing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46453\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#72efa53xk8\" >\r\n\t\tHow often should the serpentine belt be changed?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"72efa53xk8\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/belts\/' title='Belts' class='pt-cv-tax-belts'>Belts<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Regular inspection of all drive belts, tensioners and accessories should be recommended once the vehicle passes 60,000 miles. And when the belt is worn and ready for replacement, which is typically around 90,000 miles, the pulley and tensioner should also be replaced. That\u2019s because the drive works as a system. Replacing only the belt will often result in short belt life because the tensioner likely has worn springs or the pulleys\u2019 bearings are worn and causing a slight misalignment. Even the pulleys themselves can wear and cause reduced belt life and\/or noise. Replacing the entire front end accessory drive system will result in another 90,000 miles of trouble free driving.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46461\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#a9d9053a58\" >\r\n\t\tHow can I tell if a belt is worn out?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"a9d9053a58\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/belts\/' title='Belts' class='pt-cv-tax-belts'>Belts<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Belt wear can be difficult to detect because newer belts made with EPDM rubber tend to wear like tire tread, where there is material loss from the rib surface. A new belt will have a traditional \u201cV\u201d profile in the grooves between the ribs. On a worn EPDM belt, however, the groove profile will have the appearance of a \u201cU\u201d. One of the best ways to measure wear is by using a device like the Dayco Awearness Gauge, which helps you inspect a belt three different ways \u2013 by analyzing rib depth, checking rib profile and identifying cracks. If your belt has 90,000 miles or more, it is definitely time to change it. Check out our video for a step-by-step guide of measuring belt wear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46468\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#d2781684cb\" >\r\n\t\tMy cooling system is overheating.

These balancers feature pulleys that are either larger or smaller than the factory supercharger pulley. Spinning the supercharger faster will increase the amount of supercharger boost pressure and in turn, increase the horsepower of the engine. Installing these pulleys does require professional dynamometer calibration of the engine computer by a qualified shop.

First, check for free rock. There should be no movement or play from side to side. Next, look for misalignment. It will cause a belt chirp noise and is often the result of worn bearings. Spin the pulley with the belt removed, if it spins more than one revolution, the bearing grease is depleted and the pulley should be replaced. Roll the pulley by hand to feel for rough spots during rotation. You\u2019ll also want to check for physical damage like cracked or broken pulleys, discoloration, surface build-up or excessive wear. Finally, a pulley with seized bearings is also a sign replacement is needed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46538\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#6bf0d36i5o\" >\r\n\t\tHow do I use the Dayco laser alignment tool?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"6bf0d36i5o\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/tools\/' title='Tools' class='pt-cv-tax-tools'>Tools<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Unlike laser tools with attachments, Dayco\u2019s tool has an aluminum body with magnets that secure it into the grooves of the reference pulley (usually the crankshaft pulley), ensuring a stable stage for accurate laser projection. The target component is also magnetic so it easily attaches and aligns with the grooves. Once turned on, the laser will project a line &#8211; not just a dot &#8211; which is an advantage over other laser tool designs. This projected line makes it possible to identify both axial and angular misalignment. Axial misalignment means the pulley is not positioned on the shaft properly. Angular misalignment is caused by a severely worn bearing within the pulley. Before using this tool, always make sure to disconnect the vehicle\u2019s battery. Also, remove the vehicle\u2019s serpentine belt before inspecting the accessory drive system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46544\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#831b41d7lx\" >\r\n\t\tI have used the laser tool a couple of times and still get a noise.

When the system is relaxed, it might not be apparent. Start by checking all bearings in the pulleys and tensioner for any side to side play. Rotate the tensioner stop to stop while observing the tensioner body for movement. There should be none. Then, inspect the grooves in the tensioner pulley and idler pulleys for contamination or wear. If you are still having issues, conduct a noise test. With the vehicle running, spray water on the belt. If you hear a chirping noise, there is misalignment somewhere in the system. If the belt is squealing, where the noise goes away and returns quickly, there is an issue with tension and the tensioner should be replaced.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" data-pid=\"46550\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#143a938lj0\" data-target=\"#a110868qih\" >\r\n\t\tHow often should vehicle hoses be replaced?\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"a110868qih\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-meta-fields\"><span class=\"terms\"> <a href='https:\/\/www.dayco.com\/na-en\/th_product\/hoses\/' title='Hoses' class='pt-cv-tax-hoses'>Hoses<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<span class=\"TextRun Highlight BCX0 SCXW33078928\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW33078928\">Most hoses require replacement \u2013 regardless of where they are at on a vehicle \u2013 once every four years.

Some physical signs a hose is bad is when it\u2019s collapsed, broken, if it\u2019s brittle or stiff. Most hoses are pliable and soft so anything other than that should indicate the need for further inspection. Other signs that suggest a hose is bad is if you see signs of leaks or bulging around the connection to the clamp.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"pt-cv-inline-style-bb6f368qxa\">#pt-cv-view-9d2921cop3 .pt-cv-title a, #pt-cv-view-9d2921cop3  .panel-title { font-weight: 600 !important;
