You need a new belt tensioner. A bent belt tensioner will eventually break and cause the serpentine belt to come off. You will experience a loss of Power Steering, your A/C compressor will stop working and your battery will die as well seeing as your alternator will not be driven. All those items are powered by your serpentine belt.

How do you replace the alternator belt on a 1997 Ford Escort?
I found the instructions in a Chiltons #26242 book on Ford Escort/Tracer. I found it easier to remove the alternator as there is a idler pulley hidden beneath it that is a real bugger to get the belt around. Once I solved this problem everything else was easy. The tension pulley that Ford installed really helped as you don't have to adjust the belt.

How do you line up timing belt marks for 97 ford escort?
To line up the timing belt marks for a 97 Ford Escort, the cam and crank sprockets should both be oriented with the timing mark on each sprocket in the 12 o'clock position. The tension should not be released on the belt. Once tension is applied to the belt, that should bring the cam slightly rearward to the position where it's supposed to be. Then check the timing by turning the engine clockwise for two turns.
