Product Details

Cloyes has focused on timing systems since 1921, and the 9-0976SBX reflects that experience with application-matched components for engine timing repair. The kit uses a steel inverted tooth, single roller chain and includes nylon and nylon GF guide materials where specified by the application. It is built for direct timing system service on Hyundai Sonata, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Optima models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 90976SBX) for the same application.

Common Timing System Issues

• Rattling or chain noise from worn timing components
• Timing chain stretch or slack affecting engine synchronization
• Failed tensioner or guide wear causing timing instability
• Check engine light conditions related to cam/crank timing correlation
• Hard starting, rough idle, or loss of performance tied to timing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace all timing system wear components during service to maintain timing integrity. Verify engine code and exact vehicle application before installation, since fitment varies by model year and configuration. Follow factory timing procedures, align timing marks carefully, and inspect related seals and components during reassembly.
