Product Details

Bando’s OHC Timing Belt Precision Engineered Timing Belt line is focused on accurate belt geometry for overhead camshaft engines. The TB258 is specified for the camshaft drive on 1995-1997 Ford Contour and 1995-1997 Mercury Mystique models, where correct tooth count, width, and length are critical to maintaining valve timing alignment. If you are searching for a Ford Contour timing belt or Mercury Mystique camshaft timing belt, TB258 is the cataloged match for these applications.

Use TB258 when replacing a worn or service-interval timing belt on the listed vehicles. The belt dimensions and cog count are the primary fitment identifiers, making this part relevant for buyers comparing OE-style replacement timing belts by size and application. The part number TB258 also appears in interchange listings for related aftermarket references.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Cracked, glazed, or frayed timing belt material
  • Noise from a worn camshaft drive belt
  • Incorrect valve timing caused by belt wear or stretch
  • Service replacement for scheduled timing belt maintenance
  • Fitment matching for 1995-1997 Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique camshaft applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code, camshaft drive layout, and belt dimensions before installation. Replace the belt only after verifying pulley condition, tensioner operation, and timing mark alignment. Because this is a critical engine timing component, installation should follow the vehicle service procedure for the specific Ford Contour or Mercury Mystique application.

Quality Assurance

Bando timing belts are cataloged for precise application matching and dimensional consistency. TB258 is listed with OE-style interchange references, including Continental 40258 and Gates T258, which helps confirm application coverage for the specified vehicles.
