Wiper Pivot: Description and Operation
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOT
The wiper linkage and pivot module is secured with screws to the cowl plenum panel beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The wiper motor
is secured with screws to the center of the linkage and pivot module bracket. The wiper pivots are secured to the ends of the module bracket.
The driver side wiper pivot crank arm and the wiper motor crank arm each have ball studs on their ends. The passenger side crank arm has two
ball studs. A drive link is connected from the motor crank arm ball stud to one ball stud on the passenger side pivot crank arm. A connecting link is
connected from the other ball stud on the passenger side pivot crank arm to the driver side pivot crank arm ball stud.
Both the drive link and the connector link have a plastic socket-type bushing on each end. Each of the socket-type bushings are snap-fit over their
respective ball studs.
The wiper linkage, pivots, bushings, motor, crank arm, and mounting bracket are only serviced as a complete unit. If any part of this assembly
except the motor is faulty or damaged, the entire unit must be replaced. The wiper motor is also available as a separate service item.
