Wiper Linkage

Post by johnvincent »

Hi everyone! My wiper linkage just went out. Anyone have a spare laying around they'd be willing to part with?

Figured I'd check here before heading out to the local pick-n-pulls this weekend.

Thanks!

Can you be a little more specific on what the broken linkage is :?:
Wiper arm?
Rotating assembly under the sheet metal?
Little stud that wiper arm attaches to?
Motor?
How about a photo of broken part

Hey so it was the wiper arm. The hook that connects to the motor was worn so thin that it broke. I pulled a new linkage assembly from an 85 or 86 FWD Tercel.

I got that new wiper arm installed and it worked great for about a week...

My issue now is with the wiper linkage bushing.

Found this fix on the forum...
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8585&hilit=wiper+linkage+bushing

Was wondering if anyone has tried that or anything else to get those bushings to stick?
Would a strong adhesive work?

Thank you!
