Drive Belts Cracked?

well this is the deal, i went to the stealership to have the oil on the spark plugs checked out, well thats besides the point, the point is they told me my drive belts are cracked, im guessing their talking about the power steering belts, could that be whats contributing to my horrible MPG(15MPG) or that has nothing to do with it. Also while im driving, I feel a very slight vibration in the steering wheel, but its on and off, its just doesnt feel as steady as it used to, i feel a slight vibration. is this why?

another thread??? on the same topics that you have made other threads about that have gotton locked? .. be careful... i wonder how long this one will stay open...but..


so what answer are you looking for exactly,.. your belt has cracks.. mmmm great thats what happens with high miles on any belt...

i doubt your vibration has anything to do with the belt,.. could be anything from LCA's to rotors to motor mounts ...

>>edit: yeah slvermaxx brings up a good point they might be pulling one over on you .. or prob are... also ur car looks hot in the pic slvrmax one on the left is my favorite

na i SEARCHED my *** off and couldnt find the particular answer im looking for, i was just wondering if it had anything to do with the SLIGHT vibration I feel while driving, does anyone know, because i know when you feel vibartion its usually more than just a SLIGHT vibration. BTW someone on here told me to touch my rotors after driving for a little bit and if their hot then they are sticking and that is whats causing my MPG, i touched all of them and they felt fine except for my front passenger which was kinda hot and sticky, could that mean something?

Holy crap! You have a 7 PAGE thread already going about your gas mileage. Another one will earn you a short vacation from the forum.
