I fixed my sloppy wipers on a 2000 Outback

Fits 2006 Subaru Baja Turbo

This part fits my 2006 Baja Turbo perfectly. As this is a multi-vehicle part, you must use an OEM bushing and insert for the passenger side lever attachment point. Generally 99% bolted together with simple hand tools.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Repair

Works great and fits

Fits and works great. The original had a broken hinge pin, tried a generic replacement from a local parts store but it didn't hold up at all. Bought, installed, wipers work as they should.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Damaged

near perfect replacement

is a near perfect fit for a 2000 Subaru Outback however no guide where a bit of trial and error. Another cosmetic issue is that the replacement wiper arm nuts are too large to fit on the OEM plastic covers. Overall good and cheaper than OEM, if I could just deduct 1/2 star I would, but I'll round up to 5/5

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • reliability

Fits Subaru Outback 2001 well

Easy installation - all holes match - and works very well. It's nice not to hear the old clap of an old windshield wiper gear. A NOTICE. Be sure to mark the position between the old shifter on the motor shaft before removing it. This allows the new transmission lever to be correctly positioned on the motor shaft (the motor shaft is smooth and without a key).

Pros
  • Still satisfied
Cons
  • Frequency

Fit was good. It was available

This transmission works well in my daughter's 2000 Subaru Legacy station wagon. Fit was good. It was available. The only downside was that there were no instructions! I couldn't find anything on Dorman's site either. Thankfully, YouTube saved the day. When installing, pay attention to the correct position of the gear levers, otherwise you will have to do it all over again. This was my experience.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Useless features

Good solution if your wiper motor is still fine. BE CAREFUL when installing,

Covers 90-95% of OEM wiper rail. Replacing studs on studs is a good solution if your engine is not burned out. reassemble however you should (the motor will automatically detect bottom dead center after reassembly), but after reassembling the unit, operate the wipers once or twice before reassembling the wiper arms. This will ensure the motor/linkage has found its bottom dead center before the wiper arms are re-attached to the bottom of the windscreen.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • I keep quiet
