Gates Performance Micro-V Power Steering Belt
2004–2006 Scion xA / xB
K030334RPM
Overview:
The Gates Performance Micro-V Power Steering Belt is engineered specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models. Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment serpentine belt, this high-quality belt ensures reliable power steering performance and longevity. Ideal for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike, the Gates Micro-V belt delivers superior flexibility and durability, helping maintain smooth and efficient power steering operation under a variety of driving conditions.
With its truncated design, this belt offers enhanced flexibility and reduced heat buildup, allowing it to operate efficiently at higher speeds on smaller diameter sheaves. This makes it an excellent choice for maintaining optimal power steering system performance while resisting wear from heat, oil, and debris.
Key Features:
The Gates Performance Micro-V Power Steering Belt incorporates advanced design and materials to outperform standard V ribbed belts. Key features include:
- Exclusive truncated belt design providing up to 80% higher horsepower capacity than Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) standards
- Increased flexibility and reduced heat buildup for operation at extra high speeds on smaller diameter sheaves
- Highly resistant to oil, heat, and other adverse environmental conditions
- Less sensitive to debris in the sheave groove, reducing the risk of belt damage
- Energy efficient design that runs cooler than conventional belts
- Meets or exceeds RMA standards for static conductivity
- Extremely smooth running for quieter operation and reduced vibration
Construction & Design:
The Gates Micro-V Power Steering Belt features a truncated profile that shortens the belt length compared to traditional V ribbed belts. This design innovation increases the belt’s flexibility, allowing it to bend more easily around smaller pulleys without compromising strength or durability. The belt’s construction includes high-quality rubber compounds that resist heat and oil exposure, common challenges in engine compartments.
Additionally, the belt’s robust build prevents it from bottoming out in the sheave grooves, which enhances its lifespan and reliability. This thoughtful engineering ensures consistent power transmission and reduces the likelihood of premature belt failure.
Installation & Fitment:
The Gates Performance Micro-V Power Steering Belt is designed for direct fitment on 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB models, making installation straightforward with no modifications required. It replaces the original equipment serpentine belt, fitting precisely to maintain proper tension and alignment within the power steering system. This ensures hassle-free installation whether performed by a professional technician or a knowledgeable DIY enthusiast.
