Help with a Driver Side Wiper Issue

Things so far:
1) Passenger side wiper and overall function is perfect. Everything seems to be moving as it should.
2) The driver side wiper does not move at all, and can be spun quite freely (ie no resistance).
3) When I take the wiper arm off completely, the driver side spindle seems to move as it should. I would take this as meaning the weight of the wiper arm causes the spindle to slip because something is internally stripped.
4) I don't see anything that seems to be disconnected.
5) The wiper arm internal splines seem to be pretty flattened. I messed with it a little to see if maybe it was just a stripped arm that was causing the problem, but no luck.
Has anyone dealt with anything like this? Not sure what I need to replace, if anything, as everything seems to function nicely.
Any help would be great.
