MAN 36264116030 wiper linkage

Description

The MAN wiper linkage is a critical component of the windshield wiper system, responsible for translating the rotational motion of the wiper motor into the sweeping motion of the wiper blades. This linkage is used in MAN vehicles to ensure effective visibility during inclement weather. Manufactured in Germany with MPN 36264116030, this linkage offers robust durability and precise movement for reliable wiper operation. Its dimensions are 165 x 180 x 730 mm, contributing to a secure and efficient fit within the wiper assembly.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically takes the rotating motion of your wiper motor and turns it into the back – and – forth swinging motion of your wiper blades. It’s a system of rods and pivots, a mechanical connection really, that gets the power from the motor out to the windshield. It allows the blades to move across the glass smoothly and consistently, and also lets them reverse direction. Think of it as the arms and legs of your windshield wipers. The wiper motor is the muscle, but this linkage is what makes them wipe. It connects directly to the motor, and then to the wiper blades themselves. It’s housed underneath the cowl panel – that plastic piece at the base of your windshield. It needs to work in sync with the motor to give you a clean sweep.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A failing wiper linkage can cause all sorts of issues. You might notice uneven wiping – one blade moves slower or not at all. Or the blades might move jerky or hesitate. Sometimes they can even stop working completely. It really impacts your visibility, especially in bad weather, which obviously is a safety concern. It’s one of those things you’ll notice if your wipers start acting up. A new linkage isn't usually a huge job, and keeping your visibility good is essential. You can find these pretty easily – we stock a lot of them at Fixparts Online, and they’re a fairly straightforward replacement.
