Windsheild Arm

I was driving and because I have no heat (i have the part # and such I am just lazy at getting it for the heat) I went to use my wipers to get the glare off my windshield. Just a very very light glaze that not even a scraper cant get off easily. Anyways, i heard a snap and my passenger side stopped moving. Now i can hear this click when the wipers are going and i can even bring the passenger side wiper almost a full 180. I want to make sure i get the right part because recently i snapped my clutch pivot and that was a fun ordeal to replace since they dont make that anymore. My driver side still works fine though. Someone once told me i should adjust it so its lower but i didnt think anything of it

There is no way to guess what is wrong unless you take the arms off, take the cowl off, and take a look. It may be just a broken clip.

The clip (17531 in pic) retains both the right (17566) & left (17567) wiper transmission arms/pivots to the motor. If it broke or came off, neither side would work
