my wiper arms under the cowl panel have the plastic bushings are completely worn out. where can can i get new ones, i figured the dealer won't have them as everything is not available for those older trucks. any body have any good input where to get new ones?

 

In the help section of most any auto parts store.

 

ya. and when you go to buy them, buy extras, and leave them in your glove box. i bought some, replaced it, and left it at my house. took a 500 mile trip, and after my speed sensor went out (rotten luck), a few hundred miles later when it started pourin rain, the stupid bushing went out after two minutes of windsheild wipin' (even more rotten luck)
lesson learned

 

there is a uni kit at most part stores but i have had better luck with ones from napa last longer for some reason and easyer to get back together

 

napa #665-1537 wiper linkage bushings

 

I get about a year out of my NAPA ones. And that's with a little white lube to try and make 'em last a bit longer.

 

That seems pathetically poor in regards to longevity. The originals usually last 15 times longer.

 

Tell me about it. They had never been replaced until 3 or 4 years ago. Now it's one of those things I do annually in the spring. (Summer is wet season here in Fl.)

 

I just did them on mine a couple of weeks ago, got em from autozone. If you get them from autozone be warned, the package they had fits many chry co. veh`s and some jeeps IIRC (2or3 diff size/styles of bushing) BUT it only had 2 of the correct sized bushings in it...and you need 3 to replace them all.
