MAN 82264006005 wiper linkage

Description

The MAN 82264006005 wiper linkage is a crucial component within a vehicle's wiper system, responsible for translating the rotational motion of the wiper motor into the oscillating sweep of the wiper blades. This linkage ensures effective windshield clearing, maintaining driver visibility in various weather conditions. It's specifically designed for MAN vehicles and is positioned between the wiper motor and the wiper blades. The robust construction of this linkage enhances durability and provides consistent performance, leading to a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance. It measures 61 x 199 x 650 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.
