wipers

[MUDWHISTLE]

anybody know why my wipers go too far in both directions? they hit the aluminium pieces around the windshield I haven't torn into this yet but I cant see how they would go farther inboth directions then they are supposed to? thanks

i have no clue lee why they would go to far in both directions. ill tear into one of the shop rigs on company time and see what would cause this

Just a SWAG but.. Wiper Arms to long ?

Seems shorter Arms, readjusted on the splines would shorten the arc ?

Shorter Blades too maybe ?

Joe

Has it always done this ??

there are plastic bushings hidden under the cowl that break and allow the arms to travel too far in both directions by adding slop into the system.

VERY good informational point Brandon

I figured it was something like this. Lee why don't I just bring it up there and have you fix it between times when you on the internet, thanks for the help, thanks Brandon

oh and the bad news is that last i heard the bushings were not available by themselves you had to by the entire mechanism

Hehe well I might just have to make some then or is the mechanism very expensive? and I'm finding that there is not all that much available for these pickups anymore.
