Detailed Description

This Dorman wiper arm, part number 42644, is engineered as a direct replacement for the original front wiper arm on select Ford trucks and SUVs. It measures 24.5 inches and uses a hook-style wiper end with a spine / flange nut attachment method, helping restore proper windshield sweep and secure blade engagement. Compatible With 2001 Ford Explorer Sport, front left; 2002 Ford Explorer Sport, front left, to 4/18/02; and 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front, to 4/18/02. This part cross-references OE number 1L2Z17526DA for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Uneven or incomplete windshield wipe pattern
  • Reduced contact between the blade and windshield
  • Corrosion or wear on the original steel arm
  • Loss of proper front wiper operation on the listed Ford models
