Windshield wiper flops
71 f-100. Drivers side wiper flops at the end of each cycle. When going to left it's like it just lets loose and hits windshield trim, top of cycle the last few inches it just drops. It works strong thur cycle just seems to drop loose a few inches at end of the side to side cycle. Is there a way to adjust or do I meet to replace something? What should I look for when under the dash, thanks.

It's not the wiper motor.
Inside the wiper motor is a parking switch...if it was bad, both sides would do the same thing.
The problem lies with the drivers side w/wiper "arm & pivot."
The bushing that's in the arm is prolly worn/missing, which allows too much play, or the pivot itself is worn.
The wiper blade (17528) attaches to the wiper arm (17526), the wiper arm attaches to the arm & pivot (17567).
btw: The bushing is only serviced with the arm & pivot.
