Anyone ever heard/seen this before?
I'm asking on a friend's behalf.
Car is a 98 Sunfire GT with the 2.4 engine.
We replaced a bad alternator last year and noticed the belt was hanging on by mere threads. Just assumed it was original and replaced it. About a year passes. Belt looks pretty much the same today. We're gonna replace it again as its pretty much finished again, but something has to be causing this. I haven't touched the belt on my Saturn since I got it a year and a half ago and it doesn't look any different when it did then.
I'm wondering if one of the accessories like the alternator or power steering or compressor is not mounted straight. It shouldn't be an issue from our alternator replacement since the belt was bad even before it was changed.
Thoughts?
