MAN 81264116021 wiper linkage

Description

The MAN 81264116021 wiper linkage is a crucial component in the vehicle's windshield wiper system. It translates the rotational motion of the wiper motor into the sweeping motion of the wiper blades, ensuring effective removal of rain, snow, and debris from the windshield for improved visibility. This linkage is specifically designed for MAN vehicles, contributing to the reliable operation of the wiper system. The robust construction of this linkage enhances durability and provides smooth, consistent wiper operation, ultimately improving driver safety and vehicle performance. It measures 30 x 60 x 135 mm.

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.
