Hello all,
I have and '88 GL wagon. I recently got cheap belts at AutoZone to
replace the front accesory belts. I got the correct belts for the
options, which are power steerign and A/C. The front-most belt fit
OK, but the one behind it would not fit over the tensioner (fully
retracted) and I did not want to force it excessively. I probably
spent over an hour trying every which way to get it on without
damaging it. So I brought it back to AZ. The belt was verified to be
the right number. I compared it to a couple others of the same brand
and they were the same. AZ also carried a $12.99 Good Year(compared
to something like $3.99 for the KS). This belt was maybe 3/16"
longer, just the extra I needed. Rather than get sucked into getting
upcharged, I took my money elsewhere and got a belt at a local
CarQuest. This belt was on in seconds, it was the perfect size. Has
anyone else had this problem with the Kelly Springfield belts being a
hair too small?
