Is the adjustment of the drive belt necessary on 1988 Volvo 244?

Adjusting the fanbelt is very important, especially in power steering or air-conditioned vehicles. The proper tension has a deflection range of 0.2 to 0.4 inches with a press pressure. Tension can be adjusted by shifting the position of the compressor, alternator or power steering pump, or by changing out shims on the crankshaft pulley.
