wiper problems?
hey all having problems with the wipers. If i leave the pass side wiper arm off it works fine but when i put the passenger arm on, it moves too far to the drivers side and gets stuck? maybe linkage needs to be tightened? i have no idea. Maybe i'm putting the arms on wrong? thanks. o and by the way its 1 speed motor and 66 250. thanks guys.

If you want to check without removing motor. Hold thumb at end of articulation of wipers. If wiper will bump against your thumb and return there is a good chance it is wear in the gear. Have you lubricated the articulating joints?

What do you lube the linkage with? Never-seize? teflon spray?
I suspect you have to remove the vented cowl section to get to the linkage, correct?

I use the white lube in a spray can. It has a tube with it and is good for areas that are hard to reach.
