Help keep your windshield wipers sweeping on cue with this Dorman wiper linkage, the Dorman - OE Solutions Windshield Wiper Linkage / Transmission 602-007. It is a right-side, direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima, designed to take the place of an original linkage whose crank arm has failed. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine specifics.
Dorman lists this part under both names, windshield wiper linkage and windshield wiper transmission. It connects the wiper motor to the wiper arm pivots and turns the motor's rotation into the back-and-forth sweep of the blades.
- Direct replacement: Built to install like the original equipment linkage and work the same way on the listed application.
- Crank arm repair: Replaces a linkage with a failed crank arm. If that failure is why your blades have stopped moving, this part is designed to get them working again.
- Application specific: Reverse engineered from the factory design for this particular application.
- Quality support: Backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality specialists in the United States.
Signs the wiper linkage may need replacing include wipers that stop while the motor can still be heard running, one arm moving out of step or not at all, an erratic sweep, or clunking and grinding near the base of the windshield. A wiper motor fault or a loose arm can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
