Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing chain guide, part number 9-5458, is built for the engine timing system where the crankshaft and camshaft must stay synchronized. Cloyes designs and manufactures its timing components using CAD-based engineering and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability to support consistent operation. This guide is a direct-fit style component for the left side on applications such as 2002-2013 Jeep Liberty, 2007-2012 Dodge Nitro, 2011-2012 Ram 1500, 2004-2011 Dodge Dakota, 2011 Ram Dakota, 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2006-2010 Jeep Commander, 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2009 Dodge Durango, and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider. If you are replacing a worn timing chain guide on a Jeep Liberty or Dodge Nitro, 9-5458 provides the correct application-specific fitment for the left side. This part cross-references Nissens 95458 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application, model year, and left-side position before installation. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain properly supported and tensioned. Confirm mounting hole size and bracket alignment against the original component before assembly.
