mnesbit Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have a 95 LS 400 and the driver side wiper slaps hard on its downstroke. Does anybody know the adjustment so I can stop the slapping sound. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990LS400 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Get out your 14 mm socket wrench, open the hood, remove the bolt/nut holding the wiper arm to the shaft, remove wiper arm, reinstall wiper arm repositioning it slightly higher on the windshield, wrench the bolt/nut back on but be reasonably gentle so you don't strip the threads. Be careful not to close or let the hood drop until you are finished -- don't want to go trashing the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH430 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have a 95 LS 400 and the driver side wiper slaps hard on its downstroke. Does anybody know the adjustment so I can stop the slapping sound. Thanks Do you have factory wipers on the car? I tried aftermarket wipers on my LS430 and was rewarded with a sound similar to what you discribe. I then installed factory Lexus wipers and the noise went away.
