Product Details

Cloyes 9-5439 is built as a direct timing chain guide for the left lower position on 1995-2001 Nissan Maxima, 1996-2001 INFINITI I30, 2001-2003 INFINITI QX4, and 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. This timing chain guide is made from nylon and uses a bracketed design to help maintain chain path and tension control in the valve train. Cloyes designs and manufactures its timing components with advanced materials and tests each part for function and durability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn guide surfaces
• Chain misalignment in the valve train
• Uneven chain tracking at the left lower guide location
• Wear-related timing instability after extended service
• Replacement needs during timing chain service on Nissan Maxima, INFINITI I30, INFINITI QX4, and Nissan Pathfinder
