Windshield pump replacement

Hi, could someone tell me if there is an aftermarket alternative to the OEM pump for 2000 RX300? I found a couple on-line but not sure if they would work. Thank you.

Welcome to Club Lexus.

This is not a direct answer, but I would recommend you go with either a Lexus replacement part or the Toyota equivalent replacement part. If you use the search function, you should find a description of the Toyota equivalent part. From what I've been reading on this forum, it is not a typical pump since it pumps fluid to the front when rotating in one direction and to the rear when rotating in the other direction.

Thank you for the reply. I also looked at the previous posts and looks like Toyota equivalent is my best bet. I tried posting a link to the aftermarket one I found but it looks like posting a URL is not allowed on this forum?

I also confirm staying with Denso on this. It's one of those things that's not being replaced over and over.
