Thanks, I will heed the warnings. I have a spare wiper unit I picked up. Of course, it is already apart on the bench. I am looking for some new brushes for the motor. I did replace the bushings in the housing. The front long one under the load of the arm had worn some. I will check the clips on the pivot mounts. Thanks for that particular heads up. The existing set up when running one can hear some slop. I think there is play in the motor gearbox. They used grease that dried up, at least that is what I found in my spare unit. Thanks again for the detailed response. James From: John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hi on this , re 60 F at least , the grease attracts dirt but if “ oiled” they seem to work fine . never saw wear . I caution about taking apart as a bear to keep straight all the ways they fit together , springs cams and how they work . I did that once never again ; mirror image issues , R and L etc , and worked no different after . Lubriplate is utter junk , obvious it turns to solid yellow glue . I learned that in 60’s fixing x-ray machines , let alone 300’s .All the rage in 50’s/60’s , causes our locks to stick , lots more . . I made a special oiler of small pharmaceutical squeeze bottle ( Amazon) with 4” of plastic washer hose ,on spout ( reshape with heat gun) and then a wand from brake clean can , glue in with WS cement . Fill bottle with synthetic GL4
( notvGL5 , can hurt brass supposedly) , and you can get a drop anywhere . Best thing I ever made for old cars . Synthetic is forever oil , thick enough to stay there , put a drop or two on the park joint while in place . The thing that goes wrong on this setup other than park cam in motor gearbox sticking ( again due to hard grease and nylon swelling in a tight hole - see tech notes on site- ) is the clip arrangement where the arms connect to cranks on
wiper mount pivots , water gets in those , get stiff , the clips wear you get play . The torque force is so high there — needs a kind of a weld or should be where arm joins shaft of wiper — it gets loose there . Why you see flop in many mopar wipers . I
have welded arm to that post . Impossible to get to those , in anassembled car and clios / bushings really hard to find if they break or fall off . Last !!!! triple warning READ fsm , never take apart wiper box in parked position . Has to be turned off by key, the wipers up on glass or you will break park cam if opened / taken apart in parked position . hope this helps , J Sent from my iPhone
