Medium Alternator and Power Steering Drive for LS Engine Swap
For LS swaps using a medium balancer in F body and GTO chassis, the medium alternator and power steering drive package solves common pulley misalignment and belt tension problems. Built from robust steel brackets with a corrosion resistant finish, it positions alternator and power steering pump centers to match the crank pulley exactly. Installers receive a complete hardware package and a clear instruction set that removes guesswork and cuts setup time. Precise pulley spacing delivers consistent belt tracking and cleaner voltage regulation under all driving conditions.
Precision Geometry for LS Medium Balancer Alignment
The alternator and power steering drive package uses factory calibrated bracket geometry to match pulley centers on LS engines with a medium balancer length. By positioning the alternator and pump exactly in line with the crank pulley, it eliminates common belt tracking errors and reduces the need for trial corrections. This precise alignment delivers uniform tension across the entire belt path, preventing slippage and extending service life. Installers benefit from fast initial setup since there is no guesswork in measuring or shimming components. The result is an accessory drive that runs quietly and reliably from the first start.
Durable Steel Bracket Construction with Corrosion Resistance
All support brackets are formed from high strength steel to withstand the vibration and torque loads generated by an LS powertrain. A robust corrosion resistant coating defends against moisture, salt spray and roadside debris, preserving bracket integrity over time. This protective layer not only prevents rust but also maintains a consistent surface finish to avoid belt damage and misalignment. Thanks to this construction, the assembly retains precise spacing even after thousands of miles of service in harsh under hood conditions. Technicians can be confident that bracket deformation will not compromise belt tension or pulley alignment.
Streamlined Installation Workflow with Complete Hardware Kit
The package includes every fastener, spacer and bracket needed for both alternator and steering pump mounting, along with a clear step by step instruction guide. By providing a single source for all parts, installers avoid wasted time searching for compatible bolts or adapters. Torque specifications and mounting sequences are outlined in detail to ensure each connection meets manufacturer standards. With all components organized in one box, assembly time is cut significantly and consistency is guaranteed across multiple builds. This streamlined approach simplifies swap projects and reduces the risk of missing hardware.
Consistent Belt Tracking for Reliable Accessory Output
Optimized pulley spacing ensures stable belt tension under all engine speeds and load conditions. By maintaining uniform pressure on the belt run, the alternator generates cleaner voltage output and the steering pump still delivers steady assist at idle and full rpm. This balanced arrangement minimizes parasitic drag on the crankshaft, improving throttle response and overall drivability. Drivers will notice smoother steering effort and a more stable electrical system even during rapid throttle changes. Over time, reduced belt slip also lowers maintenance needs for both belt and pulley components.
Engineered for dependable alignment and consistent performance in LS conversions, this robust steering component ensures smooth operation across all driving conditions.
