Difficult to install, but worked perfectly
I bought these to fix the wiper arm linkage on my wife's 2005 Nissan Murano. Amazon says they don't fit, but I can assure you they do. It seems that Nissan used these bushings on a large number of vehicles in the 2000-2015 range, maybe others. Save yourself $100+ dollars for a whole new wiper arm linkage assembly and buy these instead!I thought I would be able to replace them without removing the linkage assembly from the car, but the fit of the bushing in the metal arm is so tight, you will never be able to do it. I found it easiest to use two deep well sockets and a bench vise. One socket on the back of the bushing and the other on the other side of the metal arm. This kept everything perfectly square and had no issue getting the bushing in on my first attempt. Guess I didn't need to buy two packs (4) for spares in case I broke any.

They worked for me
I ran out to options my wiper linkage brushing wore out on my 2010GMC TERRAIN SLT couldn’t find part on internet dealers said I’d have to buy whole linkage and wiper motor. I pull linkage a decided to try these based on what I thought I needed. Even though in description it said these will not work on my truck the were perfect fit. Kinda tricky to install I figured it out and am very happy with brushings

Don’t buy. Waste of money.
This didn’t work. Item is not made to fit a 2012 Chevy Equinox even though it says it would. Doesn’t snap tight enough to hold wiper arms in place.

Not for a 91 Accord wiper system..
Did not work on my 91 Accord. More info on what it will or will not fit would help. Broke one trying to install. Ended up buying the whole wiper arm with the bushings from Honda. Two stars because I accept two stars worth of responsibility.

Not for 2003 to 2007 Honda Accord
If you have a 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007 Honda Accord these parts are not the right part for you. They will work but fit loosely and the linkage arm will pop off and get bent, which will mess with the wiper sweep alignment. Use 49447, there’s a set of four in the pack that will work, they will be tough to get in, soak them in boiling water for a minute then insert them. Unless you are extremely coordinated you will probably need two people to do it, one gripping them with pliers and the other poking the remaining clips with a smallish flat head screwdriver. I gave 5 stars because it’s not there fault they didn’t fit and seem like a durable product.

Good parts, decent quality but will not fit 1998 Legacy....and Dorman told me that!
I saw multiple reviews commenting about these working on various Subarus, I have a 1998 Legacy Outback and was hoping these would work as there was noticeable play in the linkage. Took the wipers and cowl cover off, went to pull the motor out and found the bushing that attaches motor to the passenger link was bad. Ordered two packages of these as a total of four are needed if you replace the set. I found that they do not work for this year make model Subaru and the online catalog says as such, again, just thought it was worth a shot as several have made this set work.Here is the kicker: calling Heuburger Subaru I found that on the first call, the parts guy told me the bushings are not available without buying the pivot - meaning the part that sticks through the cowl that the wiper arm bolts to. $56 bucks a side, two required. That did not sound like Subaru to me, they are usually more "friendly" about breaking small parts down to component pieces. Looking online I found that the parts guy was not correct, Subaru sells the link with bushings for about $12 each, two required. That is a bargain, you get the two links (one from motor to first pivot, then another fo ther first pivot to second) tremendous time saver.....wish the Dorman stuff had worked but seeing how long it takes to press bushings in and out versus popping new rods in is a no brainer. Again, no fault of Dorman or Amazon, just me taking a shot at what others had said in reviews.By the way, the Dorman bushings do press into the links if you warm them in hot water (careful!) but the ball that presses into the bushing at the pivots and motor pops out far too easily.....go the Subaru parts department route if you can get the guy to find the right parts.....

buy the whole dang thing!
These simply do not fit / work as good as factory. Find a auto parts store that will warranty a new part and buy the whole transmission. I bought one from a junk-yard and it failed in about 1 month. Not happy about that. The new transmission would be about 100$... I tried these parts and a used part and neither worked for very long.

Also works on 97!
I was trying to find a linkage bushing for my 97 altima but could only come up with this set that was for 1998-2001 altimas but it looked the same as what come off my 97 so i decided to give them a try. Worked perfect! They are a little tough getting installed as you have to put a slightly larger socket on the back side of the linkage and the bushing on the front side then put it all in a vice and press it into place. I used a pair of channel locks instead of a vice with the same results after a few tries.
