NISSAN 28860-VB00A Windshield Wiper Pivot Shaft

The genuine Nissan 28860-VB00A wiper pivot shaft (PIVOT-WIPER) is a key structural component of the windshield wiper system. This part provides the direct connection between the wiper linkage and the wiper arm, converting and transmitting the rotary motion of the motor into the oscillating motion of the wiper blades.

Technical Characteristics and Specifications:

• Manufacturer: NISSAN (Genuine OEM part)
• Part Number: 28860-VB00A
• Part Type: Wiper pivot shaft / pivot point
• Material Composition: Premium corrosion-resistant steel alloy with durable internal bushing for minimal friction.
• Resistance: Excellent resistance to adverse weather conditions, moisture, and road salt.

Function and Importance:

The wiper pivot shaft is responsible for the stable, play-free guidance of the wiper arms. A worn or corroded shaft can cause uneven wiping, streaking, or in the worst case, complete binding of the wiper mechanism, posing a direct safety hazard in rainy or snowy conditions.

Typical Signs of Wear and Failure:

• Slow or jerky operation: Internal shaft corrosion or dried lubricant can cause the mechanism to seize.
• Excessive play or looseness: Wear in the internal bushings causes the wiper arms to loosen and fail to contact the windshield properly.
• Abnormal noises: Squeaking or creaking noises originating from the cowl drain area under the windshield during operation.
• Wiper arms do not return to the park position: Increased resistance overloads the wiper motor, which can eventually lead to motor failure.

Genuine NISSAN parts ensure precise fitment, factory-grade performance, and extended service life compared to lower-quality aftermarket alternatives.
