Di ko na din pinagawa as i sold it na lang.
pero that seems to be the solution to that problem once the serpentine belt starts to make noise. The bearings already are starting to seize and if you do not replace them it will damage the alternator and air con compressor bearings. Kaya mas maganda pa din yung separate belt for the compressor and alternator, di nagkakadamayan pag may masira na isa lang.
