Description
Medium LS Engine Alternator and Power Steering Drive
An LS swap using a medium balancer often leaves installers juggling misaligned pulleys and uneven belt tension in F-body and GTO chassis. This Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Medium package eliminates guesswork by offering a precisely aligned mounting solution for both systems, improving reliability and service life. All necessary brackets and hardware come in one box, letting you finish your accessory drive setup in fewer steps and with consistent belt tracking from the crank hub to each pulley.
Precision Alignment for Consistent Belt Tracking
The drive's geometry is calibrated to match the medium balancer on F-body and GTO engines, ensuring pulley centers line up perfectly. This precise fit eliminates common issues like belt slipping and uneven tension that lead to premature wear. By maintaining consistent belt tracking from the crank to each accessory, the system reduces noise and service intervals. Installers benefit from instant alignment out of the box, removing trial-and-error adjustments during accessory drive setup.
High Grade Construction Designed for Longevity
Fabricated from robust steel brackets and reinforced mounting plates, this assembly endures the vibration and temperature cycles of a performance LS installation. A corrosion-resistant finish protects against road salt and moisture, preserving structural integrity over thousands of miles. The solid build quality delivers reliable tension on both the alternator and power steering pulleys, preventing belt failures and minimizing maintenance in demanding conditions.
Complete Kit Streamlines Installation Workflow
Every necessary bracket, fastener and spacer is included alongside a detailed instruction manual tailored for F-body and GTO chassis. This comprehensive package eliminates the need to source individual components or adapt mismatched hardware, cutting project time significantly. Clear torque specs and step by step guidance ensure each pulley and mount is secured correctly. Technicians can move swiftly from kit unpacking to final belt tension check without interruption.
Enhanced Accessory Drive Efficiency and Performance
Optimized pulley spacing and tension reduce parasitic drag on the LS crankshaft, allowing smoother steering effort and more stable alternator output under load. Consistent belt pressure contributes to cleaner voltage regulation and firmer power steering response during idle and high-rpm operation. The net effect is improved throttle response and accessory reliability without altering engine internals, delivering tangible gains for restorations and conversions alike.
Engineered for lasting reliability and seamless fit in LS installations.
