T-man,
If you haven't ordered them from Rock Auto yet.
I can send you some, but you will owe me some craft IPA beer from the NJ area next year at the Mopar show...
They most have some local Toxic Avenger IPA beer or some thing...right?

NJTman

Lol... Ill bring you some beer, but I already ordered them.

Toxic avenger brewski, it is..

You can put them on the pivot in any position. I spent a little time tweaking the arms to get them where I wanted them. They sit level now when parked.

NJTman

Okay.

Pulled the stock pin type arm off, and side by side there is a few different features. The ford arm is slightly bent, and slightly longer. Longer is no issue, although bent is. I put the new arm on a towel, on my bench vise anvil, folded the towel over it, and remembering where the bend is, gave it a smack with a hammer. Checked it, hit it again, and wallah, I was done.

Perfect in all respects. Thanks AJ. You made my day a great one. A little food and imaginary beer heading your way...
Lol

I just put mine in a vice and bent them by hand. It wasn't hard.

I must've looked through 30 trucks in the U-pull it to get 2 somewhat acceptable wiper arms. I did notice that there are some Chinese aftermarket units that were riveted at the spring hinge and were pretty sloppy. I grabbed one of those to see if could tighten it up with a hammer. It kind of worked.

NJTman

$16.00 buys you new Chinese wipers....



That work .... for a while, anyways.

So the big question remains unanswered, do the ford wipers stay folded up so the snow doesn't tweak them?

Where can I find a pair of OEM style wiper arms?

The splines are getting worn out on mine and they are sloppy,

I checked at a Chrysler dealer and he said they were not available.

Are there any decent aftermarket ones?

SO I know this post is old but what length/type/brand blade replacement ya'll using? My 1992 J-hook arms and Bosch 18 " blades hit the bottom windshield seal at top on the upstroke. Seems blade mounting on arm should NOT be centered in the 18" blade but offset, plus the blade doesn't seem to wipe very high.

I bought the Dorman arms just as NJT did. I put the factory size, 18" blades on and don't have an issue. The basic Michelin blades that Costco carries.
