Hey guys, has this ever happened to you? i was rolling up to a stop sign with it in neutral and the thing just shreds while popping off the power steering belt and loosening the AC belt? is this normal? i assume just buy some new belts and it should be good?

thanks!!

Normal? No.

Common. Yes.

Also clean up the surface that the belt runs on in the "V" of the pulleys, When they get glassy smooth they will wear out the belts rapidly and make noise, the belt actually sticks and un-sticks very rapidly and causes that "squealing" sound.

I have no cold air intake and no Taurus skirts. Thanks though. Have fun playing with your dry ice and your real mods.

what wut? He asked if its normal for belts to shread themselves, and no its not normal...

is it normal for belts to last the life of the car? NO! then its expected that an unattended belt will break.

OK OK, maybe "normal" but not "supposed to"

dry rot my ass. belts are rubber. Would you fuck your gf for 40k miles?

In other fields, the term has also been applied to the decay of crop plants by fungi and the deterioration of rubber.

I think what he meant to convey is that it looks like an ebay special car.
