there is only one wiper motor, so it sounds like the linkage from one to the other is loose or damaged. If you have a Haynes, follow the instructions to get to it and have a look.

check the groves on the thread of the wiper bolts, if there smoothe off then ya have a problem, most probably tho the wiper links are loose, as in where the wiper bends back, they are usualy loose, in that case get a wiper arm.

well just changed them (had nothing better to do anyway) and did a quick test.
my bolts were loose, but changed the arms over anyway. seems to have done the trick.
i have been warned by a mechanic not to tighten them too much though
