Dorman 42897 is a specific-fit windshield wiper arm for the front left position on select Dodge Ram trucks. Built from steel with a black matte finish, it matches the original arm’s fit and function for dependable windshield wiping performance.

Key Features

• Black matte finish for an OE-style appearance
• Hook-style wiper blade attachment
• Spine / flange nut mounting method

Fitment and Application

Compatible with 2005-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, front left; 2005-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, front left; and 2005-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, front left.

This part cross-references Chrysler OE part number 55077133AC for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Broken or bent front left wiper arm
• Weak windshield contact caused by worn arm tension
• Streaking from inconsistent blade sweep
• Corrosion or finish wear on the original arm
• Loss of proper wiper blade attachment at the hook end

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the arm in the front left position only on the listed Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 model years. Verify the vehicle uses the spine / flange nut attachment and hook-style blade end before installation. Transfer the existing blade if needed, since the wiper blade is not included. No instruction manual is included.
