Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented wiper arm is dedicated for installation on the front windshield on the left side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the proper guidance of the wiper blade in the driver's and passenger's field of vision, which has a direct impact on driving safety in rain, snow, and when the windshield is dirty. A properly selected arm guarantees:

• correct operating angle relative to the windshield,
• proper blade pressure along its entire length,
• stable operation without excessive vibrations or skipping.

Technical characteristics and fitment

As a component from the Ford range, the arm has been designed for the specific geometry of the windshield and wiper mechanism in the Focus Mk3 model. This ensures compatibility with the factory mechanism, and the installation process is predictable and repeatable. The product has assigned catalog numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific body version and model year. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the markings with the currently installed component or the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Condition of the component and benefits of using a used part

The wiper arm is offered in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of the component while maintaining the vehicle manufacturer's original design. In practice, this means a beneficial combination of build quality and an attractive purchase cost. Using an original, used wiper arm allows you to:

• maintain the factory operating parameters of the wiper system,
• ensure compatibility with mounts and the drive mechanism,
• minimize the risk of installation problems typical of aftermarket replacements with different geometry.

Why choose original Ford Wiper arms

Original wiper arms are designed taking into account the shape of the windshield, the power of the mechanism, and the aerodynamics of the body. In practice, this translates into:

• even removal of water and contaminants from the windshield surface,
• less wear on wiper blades due to proper pressure,
• stable operation at higher driving speeds. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the front windshield visibility zone in your Ford and need other components from the same group, such as additional arms, mounts, or elements working with blades, check the available parts in the Ford Wiper arms category.
