Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE parts that are re-engineered, tested, and verified for original-style operation. This part number 43-1176 is intended for the front wiper system on the Suzuki Esteem and is a direct replacement for vehicles listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Suzuki 3810160G10 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Front wipers stop mid-windshield
• Wipers do not park correctly at the bottom of the glass
• Intermittent or slow wiper motor operation
• No windshield wiper movement from the front system
• Noise or weak output from the wiper motor assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-2002 Suzuki Esteem, front. Confirm the vehicle uses the correct front wiper motor configuration before installation, since this listing excludes washer pump compatibility. If the motor does not operate after replacement, inspect the washer pump and related circuit before assuming the motor is defective. When hidden park blades are not involved, parking issues are often corrected by adjusting the crank arm position on the motor shaft to restore proper park alignment.

For best results, bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before installation, then verify sweep and park position after mounting. The direct bolt design and blade terminals support straightforward replacement on the Suzuki Esteem, and part number 43-1176 should be matched to the vehicle’s original application before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is built to meet original equipment performance expectations through component inspection, reconditioning, and final functional testing. The remanufacturing process includes testing of key internal parts such as the armature, field, bearing, parking switch, or pulse board as applicable, followed by vehicle-level function checks.

Cardone’s remanufactured wiper motor program has been part of the brand’s product line since 1970, with a focus on OE-style fit and dependable operation for long-term service.
