>>>Note that although externally the various motors are the same, they can 
differ internally, which changes the amount they rotate.   The drive gear 
cover is stamped with an arrow (showing the directio that the wipers park, 
either left or right) and a part number.   So while it's possible that a motor 
from a different car is a direct replacement, it's also possible that you'd 
have to swap over the drive gear or something, in order to get the desired 
sweep.
