Images of the wiper linkage for a Dodge Dakota are located in the service manual. It details where the linkage connects and how to perform maintenance on it.
If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.

Remove the wiring harness from the wiper motor. Remove the wiper arm linkage. Remove the wiper motor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new wiper motor.
The wiper linkage is bad. Or the wiper arm stud bushings (where the arms attach to the cowl) are rotted out.
first remove the wiper arms then take off the cowl grille (long hunk of tin) and all your linkage is right there A lot of elbow grease is required too, they just pop on and off, but they are really tight and there's not much room to get the leverage you need. A long screwdriver for prying can be helpful with popping the linkages off and on.
Begin by removing the wiper motor wiring harness. Remove the traveling arm linkage retaining bolt. Remove the wiper motor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new wiper motor.
