Sportage 4WD V6-2.7L (2009)
Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
Checking Power Steering Belt Tension
CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION
1. Press the V belt, applying a pressure of 98N (10kg, 22lb) at the specified point and measure the deflection to confirm that it is within the standard
value.
Standard value :
New belt : 8.8 - 11.0 mm
Used belt : 12.5 - 14.3 mm
2. If the belt deflection is beyond the standard value, adjust the belt tension as follows.
(1) Loosen the adjusting bolt(A) and the bolt hinged(B).
(2) Put a bar(A) or equivalent, between the bracket(B) and the oil pump(C) and adjust the tension so that the belt deflection is within the standard
value.
(3) Tighten the adjusting bolt(A) and the bolt hinged(B).
Tightening torque :
35 - 50 Nm (3.5 - 5.0 kgf-m, 25.3 - 37 lb-ft)
(4) Check the belt deflection and adjust it again if necessary.
CAUTION:
After turning the V belt in the no real rotation direction more than once, recheck the belt deflection.
