Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing chain tensioner is engineered to maintain consistent chain tension in the engine valve train. Cloyes designs and manufactures its timing components using advanced materials and validates each part for function and durability. The 9-5436 is a specific-fit tensioner for 1996-2001 INFINITI I30, 1996-2001 Nissan Maxima, 2001-2003 INFINITI QX4, and 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder in the right lower position. This part cross-references OE numbers 1307031U0A and 1307031U02 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain slack in the valve train
• Chain noise from improper tension
• Wear related to a weak or failing tensioner
• Timing instability caused by inconsistent chain control
• Service replacement during timing chain repair on Nissan Maxima, INFINITI I30, INFINITI QX4, and Nissan Pathfinder

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right lower position and confirm application details before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides when the timing chain is replaced, since these components work together to keep the chain properly tensioned. Refer to the application catalog for vehicle-specific fitment confirmation for the 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 2001-2003 INFINITI QX4, 1996-2001 INFINITI I30, and 1996-2001 Nissan Maxima.
