Medium Alternator and Power Steering Drive for LS Engines
Installers tackling LS swaps with a medium balancer often face misaligned pulleys and uneven belt tension; the Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Medium package delivers a precise mounting solution for both the alternator and power steering pump. It uses geometry calibrated for F-body and GTO LS engines to line up pulley centers exactly, keeping belt tracking uniform and reducing slip. Along with the mounting components, installers receive a complete hardware set and clear step by step instructions that eliminate guesswork during setup. Constructed from robust steel brackets with a corrosion resistant finish, this assembly withstands harsh underhood conditions and preserves consistent tension over thousands of miles.
Precision Geometry for F-body and GTO Medium Balancer Alignment
The medium balancer on F-body and GTO LS engines requires exact pulley spacing to maintain belt tension and prevent slip. This assembly uses carefully calibrated bracket geometry to place the alternator and steering pump centers in perfect alignment with the crank pulley. By eliminating misalignment at the design stage, installers avoid trial and error adjustments and achieve uniform belt tracking right out of the box. Consistent alignment reduces noise and component wear for extended service intervals.
Robust Steel Brackets with Corrosion Resistant Finish
All mounting components are formed from high strength steel to handle engine vibration and dynamic loads. A specialized corrosion resistant coating protects against road salt and moisture, preserving bracket integrity over time. This durable construction delivers stable tension on both the alternator and power steering pulley under harsh underhood conditions. The result is a dependable drive system that requires minimal maintenance even after prolonged exposure.
Comprehensive Hardware Package for Streamlined Setup
Installers receive complete bracket assemblies, spacers, fasteners and a detailed installation manual tailored for F-body and GTO chassis. Having every part in a single kit removes the need to hunt for compatible hardware or adapt mismatched pieces. Step by step instructions with torque specifications guide each mounting bolt to the correct tension. This all in one solution cuts assembly time and ensures a consistent setup across multiple installations.
Enhanced Accessory Drive Performance and Belt Stability
Optimized pulley spacing and tension reduce parasitic load on the LS crankshaft, allowing freer steering operation and stable alternator output under varying engine speeds. Steadier belt pressure helps maintain clean voltage regulation and consistent power steering assist at idle and high rpm. These improvements translate into a smoother driving feel and greater accessory reliability without modifying internal engine components.
Engineered for precise alignment and durable performance in your LS swap.
