wiper tranny connection

[volareandgtcat]

Does it look like a C clip goes on here ? Wipers went clunk and stopped working .. this arm was sitting on the bottom I put it on the arm pin .. only place for it .. there were pieces of orange plastic at the bottom .. the dreaded cam?? I'm thinking some sort of clip holds this on .. any ideas? My haynes is useless for this. or does the cam sit on the pin and the arm on the cam ... the pieces I've found isn't enough if the cam exploded?
Thanks .. this forum is a wealth of information.

I got to look further for the cam

If you have delay wipers, there should be an eccentric type of thing on the motor crank arm, and then the metal link attaches to it. I assume that's what the chunks of plastic are.

Side note: Those Hayne's manuals are about useless for anything but the basics. I'd highly recommend getting an actual service manual. I've got a '79 manual on CD-ROM from Detroit Iron. It's an older version and I guess the newer ones are better being PDH file instead of Paperport (like the one I have).

You can get them from various distributors, not just Rock Auto. I think it said the price was about $24 so it's well worth the money.

Sounds like the plastic cam. Usually the center gives out which would explain the lack of debris.

I'll have to look for the rest of it .. I was close to home when it happened and the heavy snow falling prolly caused it to finally give. ... the rest of that cam is nowhere to be seen ?? bit the pink orange debris tells me a cam was in it.

Thanks for the info.Just ordered my parts & shop manuals from Rock. Already have manuals from Haynes,Clymer,and they are both lacking in detail.

No man, go to autoparts store and the HELP section has the little plastic cap for Mopar wiper linkage, use a little silicon spray to lube it as they are a pain to put in...

Oh, and if you are in coldsville *Canada somewhere* a hair dryer would help...

 

[volareandgtcat]

Whaaaaaaa !!!! oh my ..... that makes my day!!! .. so that arm goes round in a circle and takes the wipers back n forth? I was gonna try that but didn't want to enlarge the hole.

Isn't M and F wiper set ups the same?
I can ramble the M Dorman and NOS wiper bushing numbers if they are the same.

Thanks compubert and Dr. ... I'll admit I did look at these but thought they were bushings to connect the other ends of the tranny arms .. to the actual wiper pivot .. not the motor arm .. thought the motor arm used the cam ... sometimes ya just over think this stuff! .. that little doodad (technical term) at the top must be the lock .. there is a slot in the arm .. must fit ... it might be south Canada here but I will still need the heat gun .. just hope I don't melt it.

 

[volareandgtcat]

Well thank you everybody .. I have my wipers back and for only $5 with a spare ... compubert thanks for catching that and posting .. and yes a heat gun made it much easier to put on by hand. I cancelled my e-bay order and hope I`m not commited.

 

[volareandgtcat]

Got a full refund on the cam purchase .. greased the arm pivots and the wipers move a little quicker and with some rain x or polish on the windshield and I'll be ready for winter ... thanks all.
