Application Details

This Cloyes timing chain tensioner is engineered for upper-position applications on vehicles including the Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Comanche, Jeep CJ7, Jeep Scrambler, Jeep Wagoneer, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep TJ, and Dodge Dakota. If you are searching for a timing chain tensioner for a 1996-2002 Dodge Dakota upper timing set or a Jeep Wrangler upper timing chain tensioner, 9-5167 is the direct OE-style replacement to review.

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components using advanced materials and CAD-based engineering, then tests each part for function and durability. The tensioner is intended to maintain proper chain tension as part of a complete timing system service. Cloyes also recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain properly supported and tight. This part cross-references Dayco 95167 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack in upper engine timing systems
• Chain noise caused by worn tensioning components
• Irregular timing chain control from aged spring tensioners
• Wear in the timing set after extended service intervals
• Restoration of proper chain support during timing service

Installation Notes

Use this part only on the listed specific-fit applications. Verify engine configuration and upper timing position before installation. When replacing the timing chain, inspect the sprockets and guides for wear and replace them as needed to complete the timing service. Confirm the tensioner mounting points, shoe alignment, and activation tab engagement during assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes states that its timing chain tensioners meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. The part is CAD designed, manufactured with advanced materials, and tested for function and durability to support reliable operation in service.
