Default Windshield wipers locking up

So my old wiper motor had finally given up and I purchased another wiper motor to replace with. When I went to change it somethings were odd. The old motor wasn’t mounted with the 3 screws but just sitting loose attached to the wiper frame. I went ahead and installed the new one and everything moved correctly, except whenever I attach the wiper arms they lurch downward and the mechanism locks up. I’ve worked with it but am kinda at a loss. The new motor is used but I tested it and it worked great without wipers but not with. Any suggestions help.

Sounds like the geometry of the armatures is askew. Do they move smoothly through an entire rotation? Is the bushing worn or missing at any of the linkage points? Do any of the link pieces look bent or damaged?
