Windshield wipers

[Yellowdart69]

Does anyone know what might be the problem with my 82 Cordoba's wipers. They chatter and shudder when I use them. The intermitent does not work, and they eventually stop. Driving in the rain can be quite exciting! Any suggestions? When the problem first started, it seemed to be related to poor grounding, but I don't think that's the case now. Thanks.

Most likely a bad wiper motor.

To CMX360 - Do you know what to look for in a bad wiper motor?

While you're changing (if you do) the wiper motor, replace that wiper bushing (not included w/a motor). It's available repo now.

Thanks, I'll try in the spring. Do you know who sells the bushing?

Look in the Help section of any good parts store. Two per package and you will need two packages.

Wow for 150 bucks I don't think so. That eggbayer is smoking some of the real good stuff.

Unless there is another source, a J guy is screwed or gotta pay.

If you need the link repaired, a wiper bushing is available for $50, new reproduction. Don't buy an already 30 old part I'm telling ya!!

When all else fails "Rain-X"

The drive linkage on the J-Bodies is special: It "Parks" the wipers under the hood by driving the motor one rotation backward and stopping at a set point. The linkage, sometimes called the wiper transmission, is made of nylon that would often rot. If you see one in good shape, grab it as they are very difficult to find.

 

[MiradaMegacab]

Spray the wiper pivots with white lithium grease, it comes in an aerosol can. Also spray the wiper drive mechanism located in the cowl directly behind the wiper motor. Hell just soak everything in lube. Lube is good.... LOL

Are these the same as the J-body bushing on the arm that parks the concealled wipers. I bought a NOS one off ebay 2years ago for $90. New repo would nice, any pictures of them?

 

[Yellowdart69]

Thanks for all the advice. It turned out to be a bad ground, and several poor connections in the wiring. They now work perfectly. The dash board lights are even brighter, which is good.
