Subject:Re: What to lube on wipers when dash is off?

put some grease on the ball type joints on the linkage arms. The shafts through the body to wiper arms can be lubed too (some pics on a blog post I made

Bentley says lube that shaft molybdenum disulfide grease, hard to do with dash in place, but possible I think with dash out (shaft can be pushed back in ). I used oil from the outside, maybe you have a chance to do it right?

good luck
