Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Dorman 49449 Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushing: Reliable Replacement for Nissan Models (2-Pack) by Michael Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Difficult to install but works great

I bought these to mount the wiper arm on my wife's 2005 Nissan Murano. Revane says they don't fit, but I can assure you they do. Nissan seems to have used these bushings on many cars in the 2000-2015 range, possibly others. Save over $100 on an all new wiper arm linkage and buy these instead! I thought I could replace it without removing the linkage from the car, but the bushing in the metal linkage is so tight you can never do it. I found it easiest to use two deep hole bushings and a vise. One socket on the back of the hub and the other on the other side of the metal arm. This kept everything perfectly level and I had no trouble getting the socket in on the first try. I don't think I had to buy two packs (4) for parts in case I broke one.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Good but not great
