Ford Focus Mk2 Windscreen Front Window Wiper Arm Right O/S 4M51-17526-DC

The Ford Focus Mk2 Windscreen Front Window Wiper Arm Right O/S is an original component from the Wiper arms category, designed to operate on the driver or passenger side depending on the steering wheel configuration. Engineered by Ford, this arm ensures the correct geometry of the blade's pressure against the windshield, stable operation throughout the full range of motion, and predictable water drainage while driving in the rain. It is a practical solution for users looking to restore the factory-standard windshield cleaning efficiency in their second-generation Focus.

Purpose and fitment

The presented arm is designed for installation on the right side of the front windshield, which is crucial for proper coverage of the driver's field of vision and interaction with the wiper mechanism. The design was developed specifically for the Ford Focus Mk2, ensuring the correct length, operating angle, and resting position of the blade relative to the bottom edge of the windshield.

Its original Ford origin guarantees compliance with factory quality standards, as well as a secure fit onto the splined shaft and compatibility with the arm on the opposite side. For the user, this means no modifications are required and predictable wiper system performance after installation.

Construction and performance parameters

The wiper arm is responsible for transferring torque from the drive mechanism to the blade, which is why its construction must ensure adequate rigidity and resistance to dynamic loads. This model features a profile with an optimized cross-section, which limits deflection at high speeds and during heavy rainfall, resulting in stable blade pressure against the glass.

The precisely machined mounting socket on the mechanism's axis minimizes the risk of play, rattling, or shifting of the wiper position during operation. The design solutions used allow for a consistent wiper blade path, which is essential for uniform windshield cleaning and reducing blind spots in the field of vision.

Characteristics of the used component

The item is offered as a used part, which in practice means it has been removed from a vehicle but retains full functionality in terms of mechanical operation. Such components are a popular choice as an economical alternative to new parts, especially for structurally simple elements like wiper arms.

For a wiper arm, it is crucial that it is not bent, excessively corroded, or damaged in the mounting area. A used component allows for restoring the proper operation of the wiper system while maintaining reasonable service costs, which is important for the ongoing maintenance of the vehicle.

Benefits of using an original arm

Using an original arm on the right side of the front windshield in a Ford Focus Mk2 provides several significant benefits:

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the body geometry and wiper mechanism, with no modifications required.
• Stable operation throughout the full range of motion – correct blade pressure against the glass and reduced vibration while driving.
• Predictable water drainage – maintaining the windshield cleaning area as designed by the manufacturer.
• Economical repair – the ability to restore the wiper system's efficiency without investing in a new set.
