I checked the shop manuals for the 1982 Volvo the other night,
and one thing that it indicated that should be checked during
the 7500 mile service, was to check the nut that holds the
wiper arm onto the wiper transmission ( the stem protruding
through the cowl ) for tightness.  Lift the cap to expose the
nut. ( The cap is part of the wiper arm.)  If the nut is loose,
you may be seeing the slop in the splines. 
    I have a 1982 245 DL and have had no problems with it.  We
love it.  Same goes for the 1973 142E.
