Key Features

• Complete timing chain kit with chain, tensioner, and guides
• OE system-based component selection for timing service
• Matched assembly helps maintain chain-to-sprocket engagement
• Built for long operating life under engine load
• SKF part number VKML95023NA for catalog and service reference

Detailed Description

SKF VKML95023NA is assembled as a coordinated timing service kit rather than a mix of unrelated parts. The chain is specified to maintain proper stretch characteristics, while the tensioner and guides work together to control chain movement and reduce friction during operation. That approach supports consistent timing system function in Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Kona, and Kia Soul applications where the correct chain kit matters. This part cross-references Cloyes 9-0515SAX and INA US ZC-76307S for the same application.

SKF timing chain kits follow OE system recommendations for replacing timing chain components together. VKML95023NA is intended for service work where the chain, guides, and tensioner need to be renewed as a matched set, helping avoid the risks that come from combining parts from different sources.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn timing chain assembly
• Restoring chain tension control
• Reducing chain-to-sprocket slippage
• Addressing noisy or unstable timing system operation
• Renewing guides during timing service

Installation Notes

Install as a complete timing service assembly and verify all timing marks before engine start-up. Follow the vehicle service procedure for chain alignment, tensioner setup, and guide placement. Use the correct engine-specific repair steps for Hyundai and Kia timing service applications.

Quality Assurance

SKF timing chain kits are assembled as matched component sets to support consistent operation and long service life. VKML95023NA reflects SKF's OE-oriented approach to timing system replacement.
