Product Details

The Cardone 85-8517LK windshield wiper linkage synchronizes the two wiper blades so they move together across the windshield. It is constructed from steel with a 2.15 mm material thickness and a metallic finish, giving it the durability expected in a mechanical wiper linkage assembly. This part is a practical replacement when worn bushings, bent linkage arms, or internal wear prevent proper wiper operation. Fits 2002 Honda CR-V, front. Fits 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, front, for vehicles manufactured in Japan.

This part cross-references Honda 76530S9AA01 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment before installation, especially for 2003-2006 Honda CR-V models manufactured in Japan.

Compare the pivot diameter, overall length, and mounting layout to the removed part before service.
