Detailed Product Information

WPL118 is a Wiper Motor Linkage designed to restore the mechanical connection between the wiper motor and the wiper system. The assembly uses a bolt-on design and a combination of aluminum and steel construction to support consistent movement and OE-style fitment. WAI manufactures this linkage to meet or exceed OE manufacturing and performance specifications, and the part is tested to OE standards before release. This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers such as 2L1Z17508AB and 4L1Z17508AA for the same application.

Compatible with 2003-2008 Ford Expedition, front, linkage only, 2009-2017 Ford Expedition, front, w/o Rain Sensitive Wipers, and 2003-2008 Lincoln Navigator, front, linkage only. WPL118 is a practical replacement choice when the original linkage is worn, loose, or no longer transferring motion correctly.

Common Replacement Issues

• Wiper arms do not move smoothly or stop responding
• Linkage wear causes uneven or incomplete wipe patterns
• Excess play in the linkage creates noisy operation

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s wiper system configuration before ordering, especially on 2009-2017 Ford Expedition models with rain-sensitive wipers excluded from this listing. Confirm the existing linkage style and mounting points against the OE application. The bolt-on design supports direct replacement, and the included crank arm should be matched to the original system layout during installation.
