Cloyes 9-5735 Engine Timing Chain Tensioner - Upper

Cloyes Timing Chain Tensioner 9-5735

The Cloyes 9-5735 timing chain tensioner is built for upper timing chain applications that require consistent chain control and quiet operation. It is a direct-fit engine timing chain tensioner for select Ford Mustang, Ford F-150, and Lincoln Mark LT applications, with hydraulic and spring tensioning support.

Cloyes timing chain tensioners are CAD designed and manufactured with advanced materials, then tested for function and durability to help maintain OEM-level performance. The 9-5735 uses an aluminum housing, black nylon construction, and manual activation, with no adjustable feature, mounting bracket, bolts, gasket, seal, or hardware included.

Product Details

Cloyes Timing Chain Tensioner line components are engineered to maintain proper timing chain tension as the engine operates. For Ford Mustang and Ford F-150 upper timing chain service, the 9-5735 helps restore chain control when the original tensioner is worn, noisy, or no longer holding tension correctly. It also applies to Lincoln Mark LT coverage listed in the fitment data. This part number, 9-5735, is part of Cloyes' timing chain tensioner line and is built to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Timing chain slack at the upper chain path
• Rattling or ticking noise from the timing area
• Loss of chain tension from a worn tensioner assembly
• Timing chain control concerns during engine operation
• Service replacement during timing chain repair

Installation Notes

Replace the chain tensioner, sprockets, and guides together when servicing the timing chain, since these parts work together to keep the chain properly tensioned. Verify application details in the catalog before installation, and confirm the correct upper timing chain position for your vehicle. The 9-5735 is not adjustable and does not include mounting hardware, so reuse or source any required fasteners separately.
