Medium Alternator and Power Steering Drive for LS Engine Swaps
When fitting an LS powertrain into an F body or GTO chassis installers often face pulley misalignment and erratic belt tension that can disrupt alternator output and steering assist. The Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Medium uses precision bracket geometry to position both accessory pulleys accurately with a medium balancer and includes all fasteners and spacers for a direct fit that removes the need for trial and error. Bracket plates are formed from high strength steel with a corrosion resistant finish so pulley spacing remains exact under vibration and moisture. Installers then follow clear illustrated instructions to complete a consistent setup that ensures steady belt tracking and reliable performance across varied driving conditions.
Precision Bracket Alignment for Medium Balancer Applications
The Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Medium utilizes factory calibrated bracket geometry to position accessory pulleys exactly in line with a medium-length balancer on LS engines fitted to F body and GTO chassis. This precision alignment eliminates manual shimming and repeated measuring, ensuring the alternator and steering pump pulleys run true from the very first installation. By matching OEM center-to-center distances, installers achieve correct belt path and tension without trial and error, reducing setup time and potential for misalignment. The result is a reliable pulley train that delivers smooth accessory operation and quiet belt tracking under varied driving conditions.
Durable Steel Construction with Corrosion Resistant Finish
Bracket plates are formed from heavy gauge steel to withstand the torque loads and vibration of a high output LS powertrain conversion. Each surface is treated with a factory applied corrosion resistant finish that protects against moisture, road salt, and debris, preventing rust and bracket deformation. This protective layer preserves dimensional accuracy over thousands of miles, so pulley spacing remains unchanged under sustained use. Technicians can trust that bracket rigidity and alignment will endure harsh environmental exposure, translating to long term reliability and fewer maintenance checks.
All Inclusive Hardware Kit for Fast Setup
Every necessary component for both alternator and power steering pump mounting comes packaged in a single kit, including mounting plates, fasteners, spacers, and a detailed installation manual. Clear, step by step illustrations guide installers through each torque value and attachment sequence, removing guesswork and eliminating trips to the hardware store. With all fittings and adapters on hand, professionals and weekend builders alike can complete the conversion in minimal time, avoiding delays caused by sourcing hard to find parts. This organized approach ensures consistent results across multiple vehicles and reduces the risk of improper thread engagement or mixed hardware.
Maintaining Uniform Belt Tension for Reliable Accessory Function
By holding consistent belt tension at idle and wide open throttle, this drive system guarantees steady alternator charging and dependable steering assist under all operating conditions. Stable belt pressure minimizes parasitic drag on the crankshaft, improving throttle response and fuel economy. Drivers experience firm steering feel at low rpm and stable voltage regulation during rapid load changes. Over extended service intervals, reduced belt slip lowers wear on pulleys and belts, extending replacement intervals and cutting overall maintenance costs.
This steering component delivers precise pulley alignment and steady belt tension for reliable alternator charging and smooth power steering throughout your LS conversion.
