Key Features

• Inverted tooth silent chain design for smoother operation.
• Timing marks included for accurate engine timing setup.
• Tensioner and sprockets included for a complete timing service.
• OE system recommendations followed for component replacement.
• Chain length and link count are matched to the application.

Detailed Description

VKML73005NA is engineered as a coordinated timing chain kit rather than a mix of unrelated parts. SKF states that the components are assembled to work together with proper chain stretch characteristics, reduced friction, and controlled engagement between the chain and sprocket teeth. That approach matters in timing service, where mismatched parts can create noise, wear, or timing instability. This kit is a direct service solution for Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications that require a timing chain kit with sprockets and tensioner.

This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0704S and INA US ZC-9-0708S for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Corrects timing chain wear and stretch.
• Addresses chain noise from worn timing components.
• Restores proper camshaft and crankshaft synchronization.
• Replaces a failing tensioner or sprocket set during engine service.
• Helps resolve timing-related drivability issues.

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. Use the included timing marks during setup and follow factory service procedures for camshaft and crankshaft alignment. Because this kit is built around matched timing components, replacing the full assembly during service helps avoid mixing worn and new parts.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled to OE system recommendations for timing chain replacement. VKML73005NA is built as a coordinated kit for long operating life under engine load.
