Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5590 is an engine timing chain guide designed to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements. It uses CAD-designed construction and advanced materials to provide consistent chain tracking and quiet operation in the valve train. This guide is built for left-side placement on compatible Nissan Altima, Maxima, and Quest applications, making it a focused replacement for timing service on the affected engine family. If you are replacing the timing chain, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides at the same time to maintain proper chain control and tension. This part cross-references 95590 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Worn or damaged timing chain guide surfaces

• Chain misalignment in the valve train
• Loss of proper chain tracking during timing service
• Replacement needs during engine timing chain repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left-side fitment before installation and confirm application details by year, make, model, and engine configuration. Inspect the timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets for wear before reassembly, since these components work together to control chain movement. For best results, replace related timing components during the same service interval and follow the vehicle service manual for torque and timing procedures.
