wiper arm bushing upgrade
« on: January 08, 2006, 11:24:34 PM »

well its winter and rainy crappy weather, so im doing all the little bs stuff. heres some pics of the wiper linkage bushing upgrades. these bushings are from a early 70s throughlate 80s mopar. i got these at napa

pic 1 drill out the hole to 35/64" and use a 1/8" file to cut the slot. the slot keeps the bushing from spinning

pic 2 press the bushing into the arm and then ream it out with a 3/8" drill bit. it will fit tight over the pivot stud but i used a bit of oil and it fits sweet. snap the retainer clip on and your done
