This pulley’s job is really to spin along with the crankshaft – that's the main rotating part of your engine. It then transfers that rotational power to things like your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor using a belt. It also incorporates a dampening function, helping to reduce vibrations from the engine’s movements – kind of like a shock absorber, but for rotational force. Some pulleys are just a solid weight, while others have a rubber ring inside to absorb more vibration. It’s right at the front of the engine, visibly spinning whenever the engine is on. Because it’s connected to the crankshaft, it's a primary driver for a lot of your vehicle’s important systems. Everything that relies on a belt – your charging system, power steering, AC – basically gets its energy from this pulley. It works in coordination with other pulleys and the belt to keep those systems running smoothly. If this pulley fails, you’ll notice quickly. You might hear a loud rattling or wobbling sound from the front of the engine. Often, a failing pulley will cause the belt to slip or even break, and suddenly your battery light will come on because the alternator isn’t charging, your power steering will get difficult, and your AC will stop working. A really bad failure can even damage the front of your engine. Replacing it isn’t usually a huge job, and it's a lot cheaper than fixing the problems that happen if you keep driving with a bad one. You can find a good selection of them, including OEM and aftermarket options, over at Fixparts Online. It’s one of those parts where preventative maintenance really pays off. Built to endure: Crankshaft Pulley (MPN 80001053) comes with a 12-month warranty!
