It is a direct-fit timing chain tensioner for select Chevrolet, GMC, and Buick applications, including Chevrolet Equinox, Malibu, Spark, Trax, Cruze, and Volt, plus GMC Terrain and Buick Encore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic tensioner design for controlled timing chain pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum housing with steel construction for engine bay durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivation pin style for service and installation handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket or seal included for proper sealing at installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolts included; mounting hole quantity: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGray finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 9-5808 for easy identification and ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTiming System Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCloyes timing chain tensioners are engineered to maintain appropriate chain tension based on the application’s design. This hydraulic unit helps support stable timing chain operation in engines where oil pressure is used to regulate tension. Cloyes recommends servicing the full timing system together, including the chain, tensioners, guides, and sprockets, to preserve timing system integrity. This part cross-references OE-style numbers 95808 and 12636527 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2018-2022 Chevrolet Equinox, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2016-2022 Chevrolet Malibu, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2016-2022 Chevrolet Spark, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2021-2022 Chevrolet Trax, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2018-2022 GMC Terrain, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2021 Buick Encore, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2016-2019 Chevrolet Cruze, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt, N\/A, Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiming chain slack caused by a worn hydraulic tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain noise from inconsistent tension control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve timing instability related to tensioner wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService failures when the original tensioner no longer holds pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiming system wear when the chain and related components are not refreshed together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify engine application and timing system configuration before installation.
