Product Details

The WAI CAMS2801 is an engine camshaft synchronizer designed for ignition system service on 1996-1998 Ford Explorer and 1997-1998 Mercury Mountaineer applications. This part number is engineered to match OE manufacturing and performance requirements, helping maintain proper camshaft synchronization in the engine. If you are replacing a worn or failed synchronizer on a Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer, CAMS2801 provides a direct replacement path with OE-style fitment.

What It Helps Address

  • Camshaft synchronizer wear or failure
  • Ignition timing irregularities related to synchronizer condition
  • Engine performance issues tied to incorrect camshaft synchronization
  • Fitment problems from using a non-matching replacement part

Installation Notes

Use the included alignment tool to set the synchronizer correctly during installation. Verify connector style, terminal layout, and engine application before replacement. This part uses a blade terminal design with 3 male terminals, so confirm the vehicle harness matches the original configuration on the Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer.
