Detailed Description
Cloyes 9-5953 is engineered as an engine balance shaft chain guide that helps maintain proper chain routing between rotating components in the timing system. The nylon construction is selected for consistent chain contact, while the included shoe and bracket support a complete guide assembly. Cloyes manufactures these parts with CAD-based design and advanced materials, then tests them for function and durability before release.
For vehicles such as the Chevrolet Malibu, GMC Acadia, and Buick Regal, this guide is a practical replacement when servicing the balance shaft chain system. If you are replacing the chain, Cloyes recommends renewing the tensioner, sprockets, and guides at the same time to restore proper chain control.
What It Can Help Address
- Chain noise from a worn balance shaft guide
- Improper chain tracking in the timing system
- Guide wear from high-mileage engine service
- Maintenance during balance shaft chain replacement
- Restoring chain support in GM engine applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify application details before installation using the vehicle’s engine code and service information. Replace the chain tensioner, sprockets, and related guides together when the timing chain is serviced. Confirm the mounting hole size and guide dimensions match the original part before assembly.
