Keep the timing chain running quietly and properly guided with the INA Timing Chain Tensioner / Chain Guide (P/N ZG-9-5355). This Cavalier timing chain tensioner drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the L4-2.4L engine in the 1997-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire, 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu, 1997-1998 Buick Skylark and Oldsmobile Achieva, 1999-2001 Oldsmobile Alero, and 1997-2001 Pontiac Grand Am. It guides the timing chain and takes up slack so the chain stays seated and doesn't whip against surrounding surfaces.
OEM-grade plastic: molded from plastic that meets the OEM PA66 and PA46 grade for material and hardness.
Guides and controls slack: keeps the timing chain located and running quietly.
OE-level build: made to INA's standards for fit and performance.
Country of origin: Taiwan.
As an engine timing chain tensioner guide wears, the plastic face can crack or wear through and let the chain go slack; signs include timing-chain rattle or noise, especially at start-up. If a worn guide is the cause, this replaces it. This part is listed under both names — timing chain tensioner and chain guide.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
9-5355, 24575513, 5550214100, BT355, R75355, 9355
