A balance shaft chain tensioner is an integral element in an engine's timing system that helps maintain proper tension on the balance shaft chain. This part ensures smooth engine operation by reducing vibrations and keeping the timing chain aligned. It fits within the engine assembly and plays a vital role in the overall performance and longevity of the engine. Without a properly functioning tensioner, engine timing can be compromised, leading to potential damage.
The balance shaft chain tensioner with code USEP-5047281AA is designed from durable steel and uses existing hardware for installation. It fits a range of Dodge and Chrysler vehicles, including the Dodge Journey with the 2.4L engine, Dodge Caliber with 1.8L, 2.0L, or 2.4L engines, Dodge Avenger with 2.0L or 2.4L engines, as well as the Chrysler 200 and Sebring models with 2.0L or 2.4L engines.
