Product Details

The Cardone Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE-style replacement parts that are re-engineered, assembled, and function-tested to meet original equipment expectations. This approach supports consistent operation on Subaru Legacy front wiper systems, including 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy front applications and the 1995 Subaru Legacy front left-hand drive motor without washer pump application. Part number 43-4500 is supplied without a washer pump and includes a wiper motor plus instruction sheet.

This part cross-references Subaru 86511AC010 and 86511AC080 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow, weak, or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
• Poor parking position after motor replacement
• Electrical or mechanical wear inside the original wiper motor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s washer pump setup before installation, since some wiper systems will not operate correctly if the washer pump is defective. If the wipers do not park correctly and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, check crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it to the proper park angle using the vehicle service procedure. For moisture-sensitive systems, confirm whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are built from original equipment cores and tested against O.E. standards for fit and function. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
