Q: What is the role of the drivebelts located at the front of the engine on Lincoln Mark VII?
A: The drivebelts require regular inspection as well as adjustment. Check for cracks, fraying, and glazing with the engine off. The tension of every belt is inspected by pushing it halfway or visually for serpentine belts. Also, adjustments are made by moving the belt tensioner or the component. To replace the drivebelt, lift up the tensioner, undo the belt, and attach the new belt.
