What this part does
The wiper linkage connects the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arms, converting the motor's rotational output into the sweeping motion required to clear the glass. It mounts underneath the plastic cowl cover at the base of the windshield. Over time, the internal pivot joints and bushings can wear down or seize from moisture intrusion. When the linkage fails, the wipers may move out of synchronization, operate sluggishly, or stop moving entirely despite the wiper motor still running.

Before you order
Inspect the splines on your existing wiper arms before transferring them to this linkage. If the aluminum splines on the arms are stripped or flattened, the arms will not grip the new pivot shafts tightly and must be replaced. Always clean out the cowl drains beneath the windshield when replacing this assembly, as standing water caused by blocked drains will submerge the linkage bearings and cause rapid failure.
