Gates 05-09 Legacy/Outback / 02-09 Impreza / 04-06 Baja / 04-09 Forester Timing Belt

This is the Gates T328 timing belt, a crucial part for maintaining the correct synchronization of your engine's camshaft and crankshaft. It's designed to fit a range of Subaru models, including the Impreza (2002-2014), Legacy (2005-2012), Outback (2005-2009), Forester (2004-2013), and Baja (2004-2006), as well as the Saab 9-2X (2005) and Subaru WRX STI (2015).

A timing belt is responsible for ensuring your engine's valves open and close at precisely the right moments relative to the pistons. If this belt breaks or slips, it can lead to severe engine damage, often requiring a complete engine rebuild. Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this T328 is built to meet the original equipment specifications for the vehicles it fits, ensuring reliable operation and proper timing. When replacing your timing belt, it's also a good idea to inspect or replace related components like the tensioner and idler pulleys, as they work together to keep the belt properly tensioned and aligned.
