What is the Windshield Wiper Linkage all about?

Windshield wipers give the driver a clear view of the road ahead. In order to clear rain from the windshield effectively, the wipers are synced up to move water off to the sides. In order to get power to the wiper arms and to keep the wipers synchronized, the windshield wiper linkage is needed. The linkage allows power from the wiper motors to get the wiper arms.

Keep in mind:

Some windshield wiper linkages use many components, while others use as little as one bracket.
Having more pieces may or may not make the wiper assembly more prone to breaking.

How it's done:

The vehicle hood is raised and secured in the open position
The wiper linkage bolts are loosened and removed.
The wiper linkage is removed
The new wiper linkage is installed and properly lubricated
The wipers are tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

When issues come up with your windshield wipers, it's commonly an indication that the windshield wiper linkage is broken or otherwise in poor operating condition. This should be addressed right away. When the mechanic is diagnosing the issue, he/she can inspect the wiper motor and the points at which the linkage attaches to the motor and wiper arms. If these spots have a lot of corrosion or are not in good working condition, they can be replaced at the same time to save time and money in the future.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Windshield Wiper Linkage?

Motion of the wipers is out of sync
Wipers pause or stutter when moving across the windshield
Only one wiper moves
Clicking or vibrating when wipers are on

How important is this service?

Windshield wipers perform a simple function, but they are integral to driving on the road safely. Whether you're in light rain or a downpour, driving with malfunctioning wipers is dangerous. It is important to have wiper issues addressed immediately.

Pontiac Grand Am V6-3.4L - Windshield Wiper Linkage Replacement (Front) - McLean, Virginia

I have been looking to various repairs done on my car and searching places I ran across Yoir Mechanic. I honestly was a little hesitant to try them but then I thougjt how different is it then trying a new shop. This shop comes to you. I booked the Apt and Jarius was the mechanic and he is amazing. He knows his way around cars and very communicative with you. Being an mobile mechanic they may get to you a little late. He texts to let you know if he is tuning a bit behind. If your using Your Mechanic and get Jarius I think you will be in great hands. Highly recommend him.

Pontiac Grand Am V6-3.4L - Windshield Wiper Linkage Replacement (Front) - Las Vegas, Nevada

Milton called ahead, then showed up right on time. He is friendly, polite and knowledgeable; he took the time to figure out what the problem really was - especially appreciated since my previous 'mechanic' at Meinecke (ugh!) waffled about the same and gave an estimate at 2+ times the price. "Your Mechanic" is a godsend to people like us who don't have a mechanic in the family and don't want to get ripped off. He replaced my windshield wiper transmission and it works great! We are Your Mechanic Services customers from now on! Cannot say enough about Milton and the company he works for! Thank you!
