Product Overview
This aftermarket wiper arm holds and moves the windshield wiper blade effectively across the glass. On commercial trucks, the wiper arm is exposed to constant motion, vibration, weather, and road debris. A worn or bent arm can compromise wiper performance, leaving streaks, missed areas, or even a blade that lifts off the glass entirely.
Reliable wiper operation is essential for safe driving, especially in rain, snow, or dusty conditions where visibility is reduced.
What the Wiper Arm Does
The wiper arm connects the wiper blade to the wiper motor linkage, transferring motion across the windshield. It must maintain proper tension and alignment to keep the blade flush against the glass throughout its sweep. The arm also absorbs shock from debris, ice, or uneven glass surfaces, preventing premature wear to the motor and linkage.
When the arm loses its tension, the blade will chatter, skip, or fail to clear water completely. For fleet trucks, even minor arm misalignment can cause repeated service calls.
Common Problems This Part Solves
Drivers often notice streaking, skipping, or incomplete wiping when the wiper arm has weakened, bent, or corroded. Vibration from the road can also cause noisy operation. In some cases, the arm may loosen at its mounting point, causing erratic movement or misalignment of the wiper blade.
Replacing the wiper arm restores consistent blade pressure, smooth operation, and proper contact with the windshield.
Compatibility and Fitment
This wiper arm is manufactured to replace the listed OEM reference number Peterbilt R23-6002. Correct fitment ensures proper attachment to the wiper linkage and allows the arm to move through its full range without interference. Always confirm model year and linkage type to guarantee compatibility.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward but requires careful alignment. The arm should be positioned at the correct resting point and tightened to the specified torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the wiper blade and linkage while replacing the arm, as worn components can reduce performance.
Use Case
This aftermarket wiper arm is suitable for fleet maintenance, routine service, and individual vehicle upkeep. Replacing a worn or damaged arm provides reliable wiper performance and safe driving in all conditions. For best visibility, wiper arms are commonly replaced alongside washer system components during routine cab maintenance.
