Passenger Wiper Arm

Post by Iovofcwa »

Anyone got one to sell, or a part number for the passenger wiper arm. Mines not grabbing anymore. Thanks.

The arms just go on a serrated taper and that style attachment are known to get loose and quit working. Have you tried to tighten the attachment nut?

Yes I've tried tightening it. It appears to have teeth on the actuator, but the arm doesn't as if it's supposed to for grip.

Maybe I can just tap it and put a set screw.

I don't think there are any splines/serrations on the wiper arm. If it has been run loose before, it may have chewed out some the material off of the arm and the nut bottoms out on the wiper arm shaft before it pushes the arm down on the splined shaft. I would add a flat washer between the arm and the nut, if the arm is worn, to prevent the nut from bottoming out, if that is the problem. I don't think a set screw will do you any good.
