Leaky wiper fluid - cracked U-joint

On my 1998 2WD Tacoma, I just replaced a cracked U-joint that connects to the wiper fluid pump, which was the source of the leak.

I'm posting this info because the original U-joint has been obsoleted and information on the replacement parts was scarce.

First, here is the wiper fluid pump assembly I'm writing about.

Here is a close up of the original U-joint, 85376-06010.

This part has since been replaced by these two parts.

U Joint 85376-06011


Joint, Washer, C 85357-07010


My original hose was fine so I re-used it.

Here's how the replacement assembly looks.

 

Mine was cracked just like yours. I put JB Weld on it and it seems to be doing the trick. I think it still leaks a little, but it'll do.

If mine goes out again I'll def go this route.

Thank you!

 

Haha that was not the "u-joint" i was expecting to see. Had to look a couple times before i got it.

 

Thank you.

 

Every washer pump I replaced The hose went right on the pump nipple.

From the early eighties till 2000

 

this just happened to me. Thx for the info

 

Thanks for the info, currently repairing this very issue on 1998 Tacoma SR5

 

Thanks for a useful 1st post, instead of the normal what aggressive tire, what lift and what wheels posts!

 

8+ years later and your post is so much appreciated. Ordered this one (85376-06011) and was very confused as to what I received. Online parts guy on the phone and local parts guy in person had no solution!! Funny they replaced one little molded rubber u-joint with two different items. Maybe it'll last forever now instead of the ~375k I have on this one. lol

Thanks again,
