Windshield Wiper????

Hey guys,
I did the bushing replacement on my wiper linkage and now my wipers are all hosed up. The left one swings to far and the right one doesn't swing far enough. Is it possible to put this in backwards? Or does anyone know what I might have done wrong?
Thanks,
John

The same thing happened to me. If you took out the things that hold the wiper blade in place and connect to the bushings, there is a right and the left. When I put them back in I put them in backwards. If you look at them they are Mark R. and L.

Thanks Santa,

That was the problem had them installed on the wrong side.
