If you're grabbing some arms from the junkyard, check the pivot point on the arms where you can rotate them up to change the blades. On one of the arms I pulled from the yard, that area was heavily corroded. I did not think much of it at the time, but earlier this year, I was driving through a small snowstorm to get some parts when that corroded area broke apart. Thankfully, it was the passenger side arm, so I could still see! I picked up a new arm from RockAuto to replace it. The driver's side doesn't have any of that heavy corrosion, so I'm not worried about it coming apart
