Windshield wipers slamming!

My windshield wipers slam down & driver side slams up when you chose just one wipe (don't know what you call it). I think I need bushings? Don't know, please help! Thank you! Karen

Do they work as they should on other modes?

No they don't, they slam down on every wipe. Really bad. Thank you!

There are plastic bushings in the linkage. There's a good chance that they are worn out, allowing too much slop in the wipers.

^That's what I used as a guide to fix mine. Once I figured out how to get everything out and apart, it was actually pretty simple.

You might need a new wiper motor. We had it replaced a few months ago.
