the drivers side wiper once in a while goes almost to far and when it goes back down they just go full speed and hit the rubber stop and they hit real hard.

That does not sound right to me. If I have time when I get home from work I'll look to see if there is a trouble shooting guide in my manual about the wiper operation. I believe that when you turn the wipers to the off position on the stalk, it goes into a Park mode where it brings the wipers to rest under the cowl slowly. I'm sure the some of the other members might be abke to help you out on this.

If they are wiping all the way and still hitting the stops, is sounds like the wiper motor might be stuck or jammed in "park" mode. Do they try going even further when you shut them off?
