wiper linkage and motor

Ok,

It really has not been many miles or years. I used Help linkage bushings and they have failed again. Do you guys get more than 5 years to these bushings- I'm in Texas so maybe they are melting in the summer heat?
Is it a good thing to replace the motor too?? Cordone sells a rebuild for ~$50.

But I'm afraid it will be like the window motors and junk? Factory still available?

I guess I need to get turn signal relay, buzzer, and a new ignition switch which hopefully is not made in china.

I don't think it's the heat, we have you trumped on that , the latest bushings on my truck are 3 years old or so, but they tend to fail at the worst time. The original motor can be rebuilt by any small electric motor shop, but those are getting pretty rare too...Mark
