I'm considering to buy this linkage which is supposed to fit all Fiat punto models: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Fiat-Pu...106398?hash=item35e42832de:g:2lsAAOSwxN5Waa8M


put according to the compatible list it wont fit Fiat Punto 2002, 1.2 16v?

If the linkage falls off the balls,you can just buy clips to hold linkage on. As for being different,I can't see why they would be different.

Have you tried them and how and for how long did they work?

Had them on for a year and never come off yet.

Allright I just purchased 2 sets :slayer:

Either weld a washer on the ball or use an old wiper linkage to make a new one., usually only one joint wears out so on old one will have at least one good joint, I made a set from 2 old ones and they lasted the 3 yrs my daughter had the car and probably still going!

those clips work fine long time
they velly good
i used to weld the washers up on these but it means removing bonnet and scuttle so as not to crack the screen (got the t shirt)
so clips are win win if difficult to fit especially drivers side
make sure keys in pocket when fitting these as linkages can chop a finger off if someones in car

I drilled through the ball joint and used washers and long bolts

Its held together fine for donkeys ages
However - the slop is getting bad

And when its raining good or windy
Im getting overshoot
Its started smashing the scuttle pannel

I think im gonna get a new linkage as ive got slop in the ball joints and the stem joints too...

Skippin and slapping is somewhat annoying me now

Take out the complete wiper linkage as a unit.no need to mess around trying to get at it.a decent repair sorts all the problems. The clips are just a means of stopping the linkage falling off. Don't stop the slack. Plus they crazy money on ebay and the likes
