Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5258 is engineered for timing belt systems that require steady tension control during engine operation. By keeping the belt properly tensioned as the crankshaft turns, this tensioner adjuster helps maintain timing belt efficiency and reduces the chance of belt slap or uneven belt movement. It is a direct-fit style component for applications including the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi Diamante, and Dodge Stealth. This part cross-references Dayco 95258 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt noise caused by inconsistent belt tension
• Belt flapping or belt slap during engine operation
• Uneven timing belt tracking
• Loss of timing belt tension over service life
• Wear related to aging tensioner components

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing belt tensioner adjuster during timing belt service, especially on Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi Diamante, and Dodge Stealth front-engine applications. Cloyes recommends replacing the belt tensioner and belt idler components at the same time as the belt. Verify application details in the catalog before installation and confirm the activation pin and mounting points match the original part.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components using CAD-based engineering and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability to support long service life. The 9-5258 is built to match fit and function for the listed applications.
