1970-1977 Beetle Windshield Wiper Pivot Shaft RH Single Pin 111955216F - OEM Number(s) (111-955-216-F)
Restore correct windshield wiper operation on your Volkswagen Beetle with this reproduction RH single pin wiper pivot shaft built for direct replacement.
The Volkswagen Beetle wiper pivot shaft connects the external wiper arm to the wiper transmission. When these shafts wear, corrode, or seize from insufficient lubrication, wiper movement becomes erratic or fails entirely. The right side shaft is a specific fitment — confirm side before ordering.
This reproduction RH single pin wiper pivot shaft installs as a direct replacement for the original. Steel and brass combination construction delivers the durability and correct fit the original was built with. Factory specifications recommend lubricating the pivot shaft every 90 days to prevent premature wear and seizure.

Tech Tip:
Most wiper pivot shafts fail from age, seal damage, and lack of lubrication. Lubricate the shaft every 90 days by removing the wiper arm, gently removing the plastic seal, and applying a few drops of oil where the shaft protrudes from the brass barrel. Switch the wiper motor on with the arms still removed and apply a few more drops to ensure full oil penetration. While the assembly is out, apply a small amount of white grease to all moving parts.
Because Details Matter:
A worn or seized wiper pivot shaft is one of the most common reasons Beetle wipers stop performing correctly. This reproduction right side shaft restores the mechanical connection your wiper system depends on — correct fitment, correct construction, and a simple lubrication routine every three months keeps everything moving the way it should.
