Then check the bracket. It should have no bends and damage. After that pay attention to the belt. The size of its deflection should not exceed 1.5 cm.

Repair works are not carried out, because the part has a monolithic structure. To replace the part you need to disconnect the battery terminals, disconnect the body.
