Tires suffer wear and tear even when your driving falls under the description of ordinary. Taking care of your vehicle's tires must be a priority, or else dangers emerge.

In order to keep your vehicle in good shape, it can be helpful if you understand its basic components, which is why we have offered some useful information about your vehicle's alternator below.

Your vehicle's starting system includes three major components that include the starter, battery, and alternator. The alternator's primary purpose is to keep the battery charged when the vehicle is running, but it also helps the battery keep the electrical components in your vehicle charged, which may include the windshield wipers, headlights, and more.  

One of the critical components to keeping your engine running correctly is the timing belt. It serves to synchronize the camshaft and the crankshaft, and if it breaks, it could cause extensive damage to your engine. Without a timing belt, an engine cannot run.

Most manufactures recommend replacing the timing belt either at the 60,000 mile or 100,000 mile service. There are some signs that you can look for to tell if your belt is getting worn out.
