Default 1995 Dodge Dakota Wiper Linkage Problem

I have searched around here and solved half the problem by adding a new bushing on my drivers side linkage. However the other linkage wobbles underneath it making a loud knocking noise. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have not found good photos or diagrams searching YouTube and Google. Or maybe I am putting the drivers side piece together wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i always change all the nylon bushings. i pull both wiper rotors out and change the bushings also the main one on the wiper motor is larger than the rest. just be very careful not to mix up the linkage arms or put in backwards/upside down. when you install the bushings you have to squeeze them in until you hear/feel them pop in.

no pics....i drop both rotor units, i think 3 screws on each one, and disconnect the arm at the motor and pull everything out thru the drivers side. replace one at a time that way you will not mix things up.
