my problem is that if you get out of the car you can grab either of the wipers and move them up & down & there seems to be like 100mm play, when the wipers are on it is hitting the trim on the 'a' piller and the black stuff between the bonnet & the windscreen, i think i nedd to pull the black strip off & see what teh control arms are doing that link the motor to the wiper arms, i suspect a worn out bush, anyone pulled one apart before?

found an article on nasioc, seems its just the ball joint link behind the wiper motor, easy fix

I got the same prob...

I fixed it by turning up the stereo louder lol

i'll report back how easy it actually is to fix & what i used

$67 from subaru, brand new, because you have to buy the complete arm, can't just buy the call joint

$100 from jws, secondhand, because you have to buy the complete assembly with the 2 links and the arm

go figure, i'll be going past subaru tomorrow to order me new arm
