The Problem
The OEM bearings within the wiper arms fail and cause the symptoms noted.
The OEM bearings in the drivers side wiper arm wear and fail prematurely causing wiper issues. The OEM bearings are poor quality and are incorrectly sealed and are not suitable for the application. It is a common fault for both bearings to fail on the drivers side wiper arm. Previously it was only possible to replace the entire wiper arm at the cost of £100+ from the vehicle manufacturer, unfortunately a new OEM arm features the same bearings which would just fail again over time.
Symptoms of the fault
Common symptoms include; windscreen wiper not clearing the screen correctly- with a lack of pressure on the screen. If you push down on the wiper arm base and this improves cleaning of the screen this is also a good indication that the bearings are failing. Noisy, rough operating or loose wiper movement is also an indication of failure. Unfortunately due to the poor quality bearings used by the manufacturer failure of this part is inevitable. It is often easy to spot failure of the bearings by inspecting them, you will often see that they are damaged, corroded or missing the protective outer cover.
