Secondary timing chain arms serve an essential role in the engine-timing system by guiding and supporting the timing chain to ensure smooth and accurate engine operation. Situated within the engine, this part helps maintain proper tension on the timing chain, preventing it from slipping or becoming loose. Its function is vital for synchronizing the camshaft and crankshaft movements, which directly affects engine performance. Without a properly functioning timing chain arm, the engine could suffer from timing issues leading to poor efficiency or damage.
The secondary timing chain arm with the code USEP-53021292AB is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 3.7L V6 engine. This part is made from a combination of metal and plastic and requires the use of existing hardware for installation. It fits a range of Dodge and Ram models, including the Ram 1500, Dodge Nitro, Durango, Dakota, and Raider. Two of these secondary timing chain arms are required for proper engine-timing system function.
