Wiper Arm Adjustment?

[MrSony]

Is there an adjustment for the park position? If so, how I do it?

There's a bracket bolted to the back of the wiper motor, on that bracket is a ball stud that the wiper linkage bolts to. This is about the only place that I could figure for adjustment.

Maybe someone else has more info..

kevin's rite,the only adjustable portion of the wiper linkage assembly is @ that ball stud.there's two nuts securing it.there's a small amount of adjustment either way.the rest of it is all riveted together.go in small increments as that arm gets closer to the sheet metal behind the booster.

If the wipers were parking ok before and you have not done anything with the wipers to take them out of adjustment then I don't think adjusting them is the cure.

Adjustment

If the wiper arms and blades were in the correct adjustment prior to wiper arm removal, adjustment should not be required. However, if adjustment is required, it can be performed as follows:

1. Raise the hood to gain access to wiper arms.
2. Remove the right arm and blade assembly.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to washer nozzles, temporarily remove retaining scres and move nozzles out of the way.

3. Loosen (do not remove) the transmission drive link-to-motor crank arm attaching nuts.
4. Rotate the left arm assembly on G styles and both arm assemblies on B, and E styles to a position 25 mm (1") below the blade ramp stops.
5. Tighten the attaching nuts on the transmission drive link(s) to motor crank arm 6 to 8 N-m (4 to 6 lbs. ft.).
6. On G styles, position the right arm and blade assembly 25mm (1") below the blade ramp stop and install arm assembly to transmission shaft.

Good information. My wipers park kind of cockeyed. The right side wiper rests against the stop tightly and the left side seems to park further away from the stop. I was getting ready to bend the left side arm, but I'll try to re-align it first.
Thanks for posting the information.
