Wiper Motor assembly

[Jared Richey]

I Have actually never bought one of these new,  what is the best source for a nice looking ready to install wiper motor assembly?  The whole thing ready to mount.

The store rebuilt ones are junk-and for a later car. It'll work but you'll need to fool with the wires. Of course, you'll need to give in your correct original as a core.

You're better of sending your original to one of the rebuilder services-like I shoulda done.

I ended up getting a working correct original one from Leo.

avoid a rebuilt, get a new one if you decide to replace it. If you can find someone good to rebuild yours go for that. The washer pump is separate on the replacement.

I got the unit from the Parts Place recently. Just had to bolt the pump assembly on the motor.

Is there a place where I can buy just the socket that captures the ball from the wiper motor?

Do you mean the inserts that fit over the ball? I think there brass or bronze something like that. I got some a bunch of years ago at the dealership. They obviously don't list them anymore but the guy I was talking to knew what I was talking about and found a part number somewhere. Leo may know also.
