Product Details

Cloyes timing systems are CAD designed and manufactured with advanced materials, then tested for function and durability before release. This timing chain kit is engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements and is intended for drivers who need a direct-fit timing service part for Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Ford Ranger, Ford Transit Connect, and Lincoln MKZ applications. The 9-0705SBX is a practical choice when servicing the engine timing drive on 2010-2020 Ford Fusion and other listed vehicles that use this timing chain configuration.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Addressing timing chain noise from worn chain, guides, or tensioner components
• Replacing stretched or fatigued timing components during engine service
• Correcting timing-related drivability issues on Ford Fusion and Ford Escape applications
• Supporting maintenance on Ford Ranger, Ford Transit Connect, and Lincoln MKZ timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and application details before installation, since some listed vehicles exclude camshaft sprockets, crankshaft sprockets, and idler sprockets. Confirm timing marks, chain routing, and tensioner setup against the service manual for the exact vehicle. For best results, inspect related timing components for wear before reassembly, especially on higher-mileage Ford Fusion and Ford Escape engines.
