Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
It's probably time to replace the wiper transmission. The shaft is stripped and not engaging the wiper arm tight enough. The transmission assembly includes both wiper arm shafts and the arm that hooks between them and to the wiper motor. I stock it and can sell it to you for $50.99, dealer retail is $98.47. If you didn't want to drive to Flint to get it, S/H to Brighton would run you $8. P/M me if you're interested.

Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
So how much did this end up costing you? What all did they replace trying to fix it?

Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
Thats a good one. Who would ever have figured out it was the starter. Funny because the starter is located on the left side (driver's) of the car. Probably something to do with centrifugal forces. I guess the Bendix just didn't like right turns.

Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
Ok - final break down -
first place ended up changing both front hubs - when I got there they decided to just leave them on as they didnt want me in there ( I was a LITTLE upset) soooo we got both of those for the $85 they charged me to "look over" the vehicle second place replaced drive shaft - cv joint - brakes and pads - transmission (original tranny put back in)- pan drip, new fluids, and a new tranny filter - rotated routers - starter (12 hour of labor - charged for 3) total bill - $409 Wheeeeeeeeeeew its been a LONG two weeks

Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
Since they didn't stick you for the transmission, maybe you didn't come out too bad. I hate it when they take advantage of someone.

Re: 99 Grand Prix.....HELP!
Other than the two weeks without the car because of some some shoddy diagnostics, you didn't end up too bad. If the $409 includes the price of the starter, than they did you ok.
