Q: What is the role of the drive belt in the operation of the Dodge Charger and its components?
A: The drive belt at the engine front is important and needs regular inspection to stop damage to the engine. The belt drives all accessory components like the alternator and power steering pump. The belt tension is auto-adjusted and can be visually inspected via wear indicator marks on the tensioner body. To remove the tensioner, remove the drivebelt as well as the bolt attaching the belt to the engine, then install the tensioner.
