How to tighten tension on wiper arm
Got caught today in some light showers, so I turned on the wipers. I noticed the passenger side worked ok but the driver's side had a bit of a smear. The wiper blades are new.
When I got home I noticed the tension on the passenger side spring was much more than the driver's side.
Is there any way to adjust the spring tension or do I need to purchase a new wiper arm for the driver's side....
Cheers

Several years back, the spring in my 67 arm broke when I lifted it for cleaning. I live 45 minutes from Paragon, took them the arm and 20 minutes later I had it back.
