Questions & Answers
I have no idea. I recommend visiting a site such as Rock Auto. Their part number lookup has always been extremely accurate for me. Find wiper blades by entering your car's make, model, and year. Then cross-reference it with the part number(s) that this unit is supposed to replace.
This isn't for a Camaro; it's for an Impala. I went to Dormans' website in the hopes of getting you the right answer, but they don't make a wiper arm for the Eclipse. 8250A073 is the Mitsubishi OE part number. I hope this has been of assistance.
The wiper arm is made of a softer metal, and the splines will be created by the shaft. If the arm becomes stuck, the softer arm metal is supposed to strip instead of the shaft breaking. If it ever strips, simply clean the striped metal and tighten it down again, and new spines will form.

I had to replace mine because the splines on the OEM part had worn out, and now I'm getting this replacement, which also lacks splines. So, what's going to be the difference? They've both been smoothed out and tapered. I guess we'll have to wait and see. If there are any problems, I will return the product and update this post.
The plastic fluid sprayer didn't spray but sent a stream, earning it four stars. a one- without flaw, Otherwise, this is an excellent replacement arm. After you've finished installing the arm, remember to remove the silver metal shipping pin so the springs can press against the windshield. A 2004 Chevrolet Impala is the vehicle in question.
This wiper arm was a perfect fit, and replacing the wiper blade was simple. 10-minute total time Repair time is 20 minutes. Wrench and muscles are not included in the package. br>It was very simple to set up. The wiper motor is held in place by a single nut. Over time (70,000 to 160,000 miles), the wiper's tapered connection will lose grip and the wiper will stop moving.
I returned three of these in the hopes of finding one with splines, but the Dorman brand does not appear to be an exact match for the OEM in terms of splined attachments. It fit and functioned well, but I had to give it two stars because the design is inferior to that of the OEM and will most likely fail in climates where heavy snow/ice puts stress on the smooth friction attachment.
The old arm's splines have been removed. This was a low-cost driver's side replacement for my 2003 Monte Carlo. It was simple to set up and functioned properly.
This was purchased to replace a broken wiper arm on the driver's side of my 2003 Chevrolet Impala. It has the same questionable spline attachment system that is prone to stripping as the OEM part, and it looks and fits the same as the OE part. br>br>If you don't try to operate your wipers in situations where they might be frozen in place, you won't need to order this.
