What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive movement from a deteriorated guide shoe
• Service needs during timing chain replacement on Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda engines
• Right-side guide wear on listed applications

Installation Notes

Verify engine configuration and build date before ordering, especially for 2011 Mazda 6 and 2011 Mazda CX-9 applications. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) when servicing the timing chain, since these components work together to keep the chain properly supported and tensioned. This part cross-references Ford/Mazda OE applications such as 7T4Z6K255AA and 95661 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs and manufactures timing components using CAD-based engineering and advanced materials, then tests each part for function and durability. The goal is consistent timing system performance in service on applications such as the Ford Edge, Mazda 6, and Lincoln MKZ.
