mb wiper problems

[OldBoy]

Please could anyone assist with the wiper problem on the mb.
I am not sure if these are the original mb arms of if other arms were fitted, however the problem is that the wipers will work for 2 or so strokes and then seem to get stuck and stop and you have to physically move the arm to get it going again.
I have tried to set the arms, but to no avail.
Is this a motor problem or linkage problem or must the arms/rubbers be relaced?
Does anyone have any parts available? Price?

Thanks for the help

Sounds to me like a problem with the linkages under the sill (behind the bonnet)
It could be that the plastic bushes are worn, or one of the arms has been bent out of shape - the shaft on thew wiper motor itself may even be warped.
If you're after replacements, try SuziSport at Seven Hills - if they don't have what you're looking for they'll probably know where you can get it.

undo the arms and put the wipers on ....see if they stop if they do get another wiper motor

Thanks Brayden and Colin.
The motor seems to be working fine, with both arms off it works perfectly. I have removed the passenger wiper and then the drivers side works fine.
Have tried adjusting the left wiper but it still travels onto the body and then gets stuck.
Is the left side arm supposed to have a kink in it?
The plastic "bushes" seem to be quite tight.

Thanks again for your help

I'll check mine out and get back to you.
