Hiya Joe Kid and Uncle Art!
Here's the link to Jim J. Morris's Zen of Volvo 240 Wiper Linkage
http://www.jimjmorris.com/cvcoa/wipers.htm
Id been under the dash on all of my 240s. The bolts that secure the the wiper motor and both wiper linkages seem to come loose on mine and leak. So I would stuff some plumbers putty, align, and torque the bolts.
Also, the nuts that secure the wiper to the spindles always seem really under torqued.
What I'd not done is to disassemble the spindle and slather with grease on these three newest 240s. Well, maybe the 1992 green 240 after the windshield pan rust.
Yet, when the wipers do judder across a wet windshield, a quick solution to get lube into the spindle, at least works for me, is:
The 1991 kittys grey Volvo 240
The green 240 with the horrible mask from my windshield pan rust repair.
A circlip there. The 90-92 assembly appears different from the linkage Zen page diagram? Oh, I see, 1986 or so and later.
Do not let the NAPA auto paint guy tell you to cover the urethane color paint with enamel clear coat.
The groan in your video is funny. Though it a soundtrack.

Mobile 1 15W50 in the Tri-flow bottle. Though almost all six caps or cover require replacement.
It is a WIPER ARM BEZEL - Volvo (1304975) at least in the Zen of 240 wiper linkage page image.
And is discontinued.
Though here it is called a cover and appears available.

Maybe some durable material can act to cover the spindle?
Hope that helps.
Duffed.
