The wiper linkage is what attaches the windscreen wiper motor to the wiper arms and blades.
The wiper linkage is usually mounted onto the vehicle with bolts and brackets. The windscreen wiper motor is then mounted onto one of the arms or pivots of the linkage. As the windscreen wiper motor turns, the wiper linkage then moves accordingly in (generally) a scissor type action to move the wiper arms and blades back and forth across the screen.
It is usually a set of rods with cup and ball bearings that manoeuvre the wiper arms across the windscreen when the motor is running.
As the majority of the cup and ball links are made of plastic, these can become brittle or worn and simply pop out and no longer operate the links. Very rarely can they just be popped back in as they will simply come back out again!
Immediately you suffer issues with the wiper arms as above. It is a dangerous defect to have faulty windscreen wipers and also therefore a legal requirement.
Due to the regular use of the components and the climate in the UK, wiper linkages often fail through shear wear and tear.
Obviously there is little you can do about wear and tear over the years, even with the following advice.
The cost of a windscreen wiper linkage replacement depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having your windscreen wiper motor replaced by ClickMechanic, by selecting your car at the top of this page!
