Product Details

This Cloyes Timing Chain Guide is part of the Cloyes Timing Chain Guide line, which focuses on timing components engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. Cloyes uses CAD-based design and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability to help maintain proper timing chain tracking between the crankshaft and camshaft. This part cross-references Dayco 95240 for the same application. The 9-5240 is a direct-fit choice for Nissan timing service work where the left lower guide is specified, including 2011-2015 Nissan Frontier, left lower; 2005-2010 Nissan Pickup, left lower; 2006-2008 Nissan Frontier, left lower; 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, left lower; 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, left lower; 1993-2001 Nissan Altima, left lower; and 1991-1998 Nissan 240SX, left lower.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from a worn or damaged guide surface
• Chain tracking issues in the left lower timing position
• Premature wear from degraded guide material
• Service concerns during timing chain replacement on Nissan Frontier, Xterra, Altima, or 240SX engines
• Fitment-related replacement needs when the original guide no longer maintains proper chain path

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the guide in the specified left lower position and verify alignment before final assembly. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) when servicing the timing chain, since these components work together to keep the chain properly supported and tensioned. Confirm application details against the vehicle’s timing system before installation, especially on Nissan Frontier and Nissan Altima timing service jobs.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components with advanced materials and tests them for function and durability to support consistent performance. The 9-5240 is engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements for the listed applications.
