Do timing belts stretch over time?
I have an older, used Subaru, and I’ve been warned about the timing belt needing to be replaced. The belt was replaced before I bought the car, but will it stretch over time?

Good question!
Subarus are known for having some timing belt problems. To answer your question,timing belts stretch minimally over time. However, timing belts do eventually weaken and break, so make sure to stay on top of replacing it every 60,000 to 105,000 miles or every six to seven (whichever comes first).
