Exclamation Wiper linkage problem

My wipers were wiping very slow again so I took off the linkage and the passenger side is very very tight. It hardly moves not like the drivers side. I soaked it in wd40 and got it to move better but still slow. Does anyone know what years Complete linkage fits my truck? I hope they are the same on the 1500.

I'm having this same problem on my 1996 2500 CTD

"My wipers were wiping very slow again so I took off the linkage and the passenger side is very very tight. It hardly moves not like the drivers side."

How can I correct it and free up the passenger side to easily move again? Do I need parts or just remove and lube and reinstall?

Any tricks or tips?

I'd clean the joint reallly good and then grease it with waterproof grease.

WD 40 isn't a lube, its a solvent.
