Good to know - I may try this on my S70 this weekend before I head out for Thanksgiving. It has new blades, but the left one has been streaking on the down-stroke, and I too have tried bending the thing. It's annoying when it's only lightly raining outside. BTW, I've added this into the repair data...

Yeah, I have the S70 arms installed in reverse now where the pass side arm is on the driver's side and vice versa. No interference with the hood. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/tjts2/DSC05401.jpg?t=1294761553 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/tjts2/DSC05399.jpg?t=1294761589 You can see ...

Thanks to so many of you who have helped in many repairs on my 850T. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents for this issue. Both of my wipers were off the glass 1-2" when the arms reached the highest point of the cycle. I read about the grinding method and switching to s70 arms, but thought I'd tak...

But as you said one is for 2WD, and another is for AWD model.

It is weird that so many have issues with the parking brake and the holding ability. I can't say I have had an issue with the parking brake (this is a parking brake and not as we called in Britain a hand brake which is much more effective!!). The largest issue I find is seized or partially seized ca...

I use a bolt cutter and cut the cable close to the wheel and the floor to make it easier to remove, especially if it is seized in the jacket

Just changed my tensioner today, and this combo worked great. I used a 1/2" to 3/4" socket adapter and a 19mm open end wrench. The drive part of the adapter is long enough to go into the tensioner and leave just enough space for the wrench. I tried using the adapter on a 1/2" ratchet ...
