Quick facts

- Also called: engine timing belt component kit
- Fits: 2004-2013 Subaru Forester H4 2.5L and other vehicles

- Condition: New
A timing belt that is due for replacement can show cracks, fraying or worn teeth, and a weak tensioner or idler can add noise at the front of the engine. A leaking water pump, a worn accessory belt or a noisy pulley bearing can be behind some of the same signs, so find the cause before buying. Each engine takes one kit.
