Detailed Description

Built from Cardone’s reverse-engineering experience in remanufactured wiper motors, this new unit is designed as an improved replacement for the original design. The motor gears use a tougher material to help resist wear and breakage, while the internal lubrication is measured for smooth, quiet movement. Cardone 85-2026 is a practical choice for drivers needing a front windshield wiper motor for Toyota Sequoia, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Hilux, or Mitsubishi Galant applications.

This part cross-references Toyota 851100C010 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Slow or inconsistent wiper movement
• Wipers stopping in the middle of the windshield
