FAA_A1 The most common causes of prop shaft vibrations are worn joints, an unbalanced drive shaft, poor joint lubrication, and a bent or twisted shaft.
FAA_A2 Each shaft is precisely balanced before boxing. Prop shaft balance is necessary for proper driveline operation. An unbalanced shaft can cause premature wear on other major components such as your transmission and rear differential.
FAA_A3 This procedure entails the distribution of mass in the rotating prop shaft. The shaft is measured and altered where necessary to ensure that vibration does not occur during operation.
FAA_A4 Not all vehicles will have a prop shaft. Prop shafts are most commonly found on all-wheel-drive and rear- wheel-drive vehicles.
FAA_A5 Phasing is a used to describe the alignment of the yokes with each other at both ends of the prop shaft. The phase angle is the rotational position of each yoke on a prop shaft.
FAA_A6 A universal joint is designed to allow prop shafts to move with suspension travel while the shaft is moving. This allows power to be transmitted when the prop shaft is angled between the transmission and differential.

Shop Official CARDONE Remanufactured Motors, Pumps & Electronics | AutoNation Parts

Explore our in-stock catalog of CARDONE remanufactured components at AutoNation’s Aftermarket Store. Since releasing its first product — a remanufactured wiper motor — in 1970, CARDONE has grown into one of the industry's largest remanufacturers, offering over 46,000 SKUs across brakes, drivetrain, electronics, fuel/air, motors, pumps, and steering, each rebuilt from an O.E. core and tested to match original performance.

âš  Limited Availability Notice: CARDONE's North American manufacturing operations are currently being wound down by parent company First Brands Group. Products shown here reflect current in-stock inventory; once sold out, some SKUs may not be restocked. We recommend ordering promptly if you need a specific part number.
CARDONE Remanufacturing Standards:
  • O.E. Core Rebuilding Process: Every unit starts as an original-equipment core, is disassembled, inspected, and renewed — with weak solder points 100% reflowed and motor magnets 100% recharged before final testing against O.E. specifications.
  • Component-Level & Full-Function Testing: Main components (armature, field, bearings, parking switch, or pulse board where applicable) are individually tested or gauged against O.E. standards, then the finished unit is tested for every function it performs on the vehicle.
  • Lower Environmental Impact: CARDONE states its remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed versus producing a new part by roughly 80%.

Popular CARDONE categories available:

A Legacy Since 1970 CARDONE founder M. Cardone, Sr. was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1994.

Frequently Asked Questions for Drive Shaft

What does "remanufactured" mean, and is it as good as a new part?

A remanufactured part starts life as an original-equipment core that's fully disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt to original specifications — worn components like bearings and solder joints are replaced or restored, and magnets are recharged. Each CARDONE unit is tested against O.E. standards both component-by-component and as a finished assembly, so it's built to deliver the same performance as the original part, often at a lower cost than new.

What is a core charge, and how do I get it back?

Many CARDONE remanufactured parts carry a core charge — a deposit added at checkout that's refunded when you return your old, failed part (the "core") to be remanufactured into a future product. Check the product page for 65-3003 to see if a core charge applies, and follow the return instructions included with your order to get that deposit back.

Why does my wiper motor stop in the middle of the windshield instead of parking properly?

On motors without hidden wiper blades, this is usually caused by crank arm position — adjusting the crank arm angle on the motor shaft will correct where the wipers park. Vehicles with a "hidden park" feature may need a specific reset procedure; check your vehicle's service manual for the exact steps.

I installed a new wiper motor but reused my old washer pump, and it doesn't work. Is the motor defective?

Not necessarily. Some wiper motor systems won't operate correctly if the washer pump itself is faulty, since the two components can be electrically linked. Bench test both the wiper motor and washer pump separately before assuming the new motor is defective.
