Well, about 5 months ago, my a/c compressor went out and blew off my power steering belt. And at the same time for some reason my alternator belt came off as well. We weren't sure if the a/c compressor was really out, so we put both belts back on. Eventually I shredded the power steering belt (of course), but the alternator belt was fine. Then..a few weeks ago, I red-lined my Eclipse, and the belt shredded. I put a new alternator belt on a few days ago, accidentally red-lined AGAIN.. and the new belt shredded. Was just wondering ... I know it could be a number of things.
