Detailed Description

The Cloyes 9-5359 timing chain tensioner is a direct-fit engine valve train component designed to keep the timing chain properly tensioned in supported Toyota applications. By maintaining chain tension, it helps preserve cam timing accuracy and reduces the chance of chain slack during engine operation. This part cross-references Nissens 95359 for the same application. Use 9-5359 when servicing timing chain systems on 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, 1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner, 1994-1998 Toyota T100, and 1994-1997 Toyota Previa, including 1994 Toyota Previa from 1/94.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack
• Chain noise from worn tension control
• Irregular valve timing caused by tensioner wear
• Service replacement during timing chain repair
• Restoration of proper chain loading in Toyota engine timing systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing chain tensioner during timing chain service, and inspect the chain, sprockets, and guides at the same time. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) together when the chain is replaced because these components work together to keep the chain tight and properly supported. Verify application details in the catalog before installation, since this is a specific-fit part.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes manufactures this tensioner using advanced materials and design methods, then tests each part for function and durability. The component is built to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements for the listed Toyota applications.
