Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE cores that are re-engineered to match original performance requirements. This approach supports proper park function, steady sweep speed, and reliable operation in daily driving conditions.

This part cross-references Chevrolet 22057652 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wipers stop mid-windshield or fail to complete a full sweep
• Wipers do not park correctly at the bottom of the windshield
• Slow, inconsistent, or non-responsive wiper motor operation
• Electrical wear inside the motor, including weak solder joints or worn internal components
• Reduced wiping performance caused by a failing original motor

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova, front. Verify the vehicle uses the correct wiper motor configuration before installation, especially if the original system includes moisture-sensitive controls or hidden park behavior. If the wipers park incorrectly after installation, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft using the vehicle service procedure. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacement when diagnosing a no-operation condition, since some systems will not run if the washer pump has failed. Package contents include the wiper motor and instruction sheet.

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is built to OE performance expectations and tested through multiple stages before release. The remanufacturing process reuses serviceable OE materials, reduces waste, and supports consistent long-term operation for the Chevrolet Nova application covered by part number 43-1160.
