Wiper arms

[paultv]

Dim question,

Should the wiper arms be the same each side on my 1989 cabby?

The drivers one has a sharp bend after the spring carrier, towards the window, whilst the passenger side is straight.

Both have an angle change, just before the blade attach point, the same on both.

thanks

To the best of my knowledge both arms should be identical.
Perhaps a p/o used cheap blades and found it nesessary to increase pressure on one side by bending the arm.
Bosch blades are superior.

Thanks,

That's really likely, the car had been butchered in so many ways - I'll bend it back!

The left and right wiper arms have different part numbers.
