Description
A replacement wiper linkage for the Kia Spectra (2004-2009), cross-referenced to OE 98120-2F000. Supplied as a complete linkage assembly, ready to bolt on without modification.
Uneven wiping, a blade that lags on one side, or a knock on every pass usually traces back to worn pivots rather than the motor. If the linkage is left in place, the extra load is passed on to the motor and gearbox.

Replaces OE number: 98120-2F000. If the number on your old linkage matches, this is the correct replacement.
Why the original part fails
On a high-mileage vehicle the linkage outlives the bushings inside it. Once a pivot stiffens, every sweep pulls harder on the motor, and the wiper arm timing drifts out of position.
- POM bushings, DuPont grade — The original soft bushings wear oval and let the pivot move off-centre. A harder, dimensionally stable bushing keeps the clearance the linkage was designed with.
- Brass bearings at the pivot pins — Carries the load at the point where the factory part scores, so service life is not limited by a single wear surface.
- Aluminium pivot arms — Adds stiffness to the linkage under load — this is what stops the assembly flexing and skipping.
- Galvanised and coated steel — Water from the windscreen drains straight over this area. Coated rods and brackets resist rust and seizing in wet climates.
- Pre-greased on assembly — The unit goes in ready to run, so there is no extra greasing step during fitting.

Frequently asked questions
How do I confirm this Kia Spectra linkage is the right part?
Match the OE reference 98120-2F000 against the number stamped or printed on your original linkage. If your part carries a superseded number, send us a photo of it and we will confirm the match before you order.
Is the wiper motor included in this listing?
This listing covers the linkage itself. Several of our linkages are also available as a linkage-with-motor assembly — tell us the vehicle and we will quote both options.
Can you supply this in bulk for distribution?
Yes. This is a volume part for the aftermarket and we supply importers, distributors and workshop chains with mixed container loads. Urgent orders are accepted and samples can be arranged.
