Detailed Description

Cloyes S868 timing sprocket is engineered for timing system service on vehicles such as the Jeep Liberty, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Nitro, Dodge Durango, Ram 1500, Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Commander, and Mitsubishi Raider. It is a direct replacement style component for the front right or right position, depending on application, and is built to maintain accurate camshaft timing in engine rebuilds and routine timing service. This part cross-references OE number 53021291AD for the same application.

As part of the timing system, the sprocket works with the chain, tensioner, and guides to keep the chain properly aligned and tensioned. Cloyes recommends replacing the chain tensioner(s), sprocket(s), and guide(s) when the chain is replaced to restore timing system integrity. The S868 part number is also a useful reference when sourcing the correct Cloyes timing camshaft sprocket for these fitments.
