Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-5593 timing chain guide is engineered for direct-fit service on 2003-2009 Nissan Altima, 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, and 2004-2009 Nissan Quest center upper applications. This part number is also referenced as 95593 and is used in timing systems where accurate chain routing is critical to crankshaft and camshaft synchronization. Cloyes manufactures timing components using CAD-based design and advanced materials, with testing focused on function and durability. For timing service, Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when the chain is renewed.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain noise from worn guide surfaces
• Chain misalignment in the center upper timing path
• Excessive wear on timing system components
• Loss of proper chain tracking between crankshaft and camshaft
• Service needs during timing chain replacement on Nissan Altima, Maxima, and Quest engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, build date, and timing cover configuration before installation. This guide is specific fit and should be matched to the listed center upper applications only. Inspect the chain tensioner and sprockets for wear during service, and confirm all mounting points and hole diameters align before final assembly. This part cross-references 95593 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements, using advanced materials and application-focused testing for function and durability.
