Silence belt squeal and keep the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor spinning with the Gates Serpentine Belt K050538. It installs as a direct-fit replacement belt for the 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, looping over the engine's accessory pulleys to carry power from the crankshaft.
Over time a serpentine belt hardens, cracks, glazes, or frays, which can show up as squealing or chirping — often on startup or in damp weather. If a worn belt is the cause of the noise, this replaces it and restores the accessory drive. The belt loops over the crankshaft and accessory pulleys and is held by the drive tensioner, so there is nothing to bolt on; inspect the tensioner and pulleys when installing.
