Ranger Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Remove the arm from the drive spindle. It is splined and you may have striped out the base of the arm and need to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenJ Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I had the same problem on my '95 a few years back. I was lucky; it happened the day before I took "Baby" in for an oil change. My auto tech simply "tightened" a loose arm: no charge! Never a problem thereafter. Don't panic. You might simply need to tighten your jib. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stsjoe Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 push comes to shove, slip a washer under the nut (I paid 24 at NAPA) but could have just left it alone with the washer Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 My right one is always up out of its resting position since our icestorm, I'll have to see about adjusting it, its been cold so haven't had a look at it.

stsjoe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Not the wiper arms E, when you set the arm it should be 3/4 of an inch below the stop, but a half inch seems to get it back to normal. If you have a fish scale the pull in the half wipe position should be between 28 and 34 oz (1 ' off the glass) Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
