I have a 1996 Mazda b2300, when turning on the windshield wipers I've noticed that the arm has slack in it making it hit the cowl and over all really noisy. There is a lot of play where the arm hooks on too the I'm going to call it the pivot point coming out of the cowl. Would this be caused by the socket on the arm being worn? Or a worn pivot? Or are they built to have slack like this? If so is there a way to adjust the arms so they don't come down and hit the cowl?

Here's a link to show what my issue is.

They are both interchangeable, put the other one there and see what happens.

Just swap passenger side with driver side? I will give that a try when I get off work tonight.

Yes,they are both the same

It didn't make a difference, they must be worn out. I just added tap to the inside to stiffen them back up
