Wiper arm and spindle worn 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Steven on  Sat Sep 3 23:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Guys help,

On the driver's side (the vehicle is right hand side - Australia) the wiper arm and the spindle have worn teeth. The teething is almost entirely gone. I tried to tighten the nut of the spindle but not luck - the arm is slipping badly. The right wiper can not be used.

Could give some advice please. Do I have to replace the wiper motor if the right hand spindle is ruined ? Is the motor on the right side ? Is it expensive repair ? I just don't know if the one of the spindle is part of the motor rotor, or the motor is somewhere in the middle and both of the spindels are connected via lever linkage ?
Can a bush with teeth, or someting be inserted on top of the spindle to "fix" it ?

Thank you !
