Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5527 is an upper timing chain tensioner engineered for vehicles that use a hydraulic/spring tensioning design. Cloyes uses CAD-based development and advanced materials to produce timing components that meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. This tensioner is designed to maintain proper timing chain tension, helping the chain stay tight during engine operation and reducing the risk of timing noise or irregular chain movement. It cross-references part numbers 95527 and 135400H010 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain rattle at startup or during operation
• Excess chain slack in upper timing chain systems
• Noise caused by worn or weak tensioning components
• Irregular chain control after timing service
• Restoration of proper chain tension in high-mileage engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Use this tensioner only on the listed upper timing chain applications. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprocket, and guide components together when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain properly tensioned. Verify engine application and position before installation, and confirm the correct fitment for your specific Toyota Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Solara, Scion tC, Scion xB, Lexus HS250h, or Pontiac Vibe.
