Windshield wiper problem
Hi guys, I was hoping someone else has experienced this problem and found a way to fix it. My passenger side wiper works just fine and travels the right distance and speed, but the drivers side goes super fast and travels the whole length from the outside of the window clear down to the hood window molding smacking there hard evertime. It's very annoying. I have replaced the sway arm, bushings, the pivot head, and even the arm from the motor, but no change. I was thinking of maybe shortening the arm from the motor on that side? Any ideas???
ALSO
Is there an after-market intermittant switch you can buy for the wipers that will fit in the 66 dash with the original ****? Thank you.

Try switching your drive bars on pivot pins [check bushings while you're under there] where they attach at motor. They might be switched right for left or vice-a-versa. Also be sure you have correct pivot [where arm/blade attaches] for year truck you're working on, and in correct hole in cowl, be it L/H or R/H.
