What Is a linkage to a car windshield wiper? How much is it to replace?
Your wiper motor is geared down to slow the motion of the wipers. The motors shaft is attached to an arm that acts like a cam, making a reciprocating motion to other arms that attach to your wipers. These arms are your linkage between the wipers and the wiper motor. The price vary's between types of cars and the same linkage is sometimes used on different cars from the same manufacturer. They may cost about $30.00 or so from a junk yard. But a much stiffer price for new and installed by a tech. Good luck to you.
The linkage is the rods which transfer motion from the wiper motor to the wiper arms. Cost to replace ? That will vary widely depending on the car and how much work is involved to get at the linkage.
The wiper blades attach to a post. The wiper motor moves metal rods that rotate the posts back and forth. The metal rods pivot on plastic bushings. When those break or wear, your wipers either don't wipe, wipe partially, or wipe and stall.
