A Windshield wiper linkage assembly is a mechanical device that transfers power from the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arms. Commonly manufactured from stamped steel components, the wiper linkage assembly is typically composed of two or three sections, with some assemblies using four sections of linkage to complete the system.

Wiper Blades Rotate Out of SequenceIf the linkage is worn out or the windshield wiper arm is loose, the blades may move out of sequence. Sometimes it maybe a minor issue like a loose nut between the wiper arm and the linkage. In other cases, it means the linkage is stripped. |
Wiper Makes a Grinding NoiseIf the blade arm is attached too tight to the linkage and causing the gears of the wiper blade motor to grind, you may notice that your wiper blades make a grinding noise. If gone unchecked, it can cause the wiper motor to burn out prematurely. |
Wiper Blades Move Unevenly or Dont Move at AllIf you can hear the motor working, but dont see the wiper blades moving, it is the wiper linkage that is broken. This may also be attributed to the wiper arm being stripped from the linkage. |
