Why Does the Wiper Shake?
1 Answers
The wiper shaking is caused by issues with the wiper blade itself or foreign objects trapped between the wiper blade and the windshield. Below are the reasons for wiper shaking and their solutions: Foreign objects trapped between the wiper blade and the windshield causing shaking: When the wiper is turned on, a sharp friction noise may occur between the wiper blade and the windshield. The owner can check and clean any foreign objects present on the wiper blade or underneath it. Wiper linkage bushing friction causing shaking: Over time, the wiper linkage mechanism may age, the spring elasticity of the wiper arm may decrease, and the bushing may wear out or even fall off. Please inspect the wiper arm or the linkage bushing. Wiper motor causing shaking: If the wiper motor itself lacks sufficient power and shakes, it may be a sign that the motor is nearing the end of its lifespan. It is recommended to visit a professional repair shop for a more detailed inspection. Solutions: Wiper blades are rubber products and will harden and age over time, especially in winter. If the wiper no longer cleans effectively, the simplest and most effective solution is to replace the wiper blade directly. Generally, it is recommended to replace wiper blades every one to two years. Ensure the wiper blade area is kept clean.
