1972 Cuda Wiper Linkage Arm Bushings
« on: January 15, 2018 - 10:23:01 PM »
Does anyone know where I can purchase the brass bushings for the wiper linkage arms for a 1972 Cuda, E-Body, for a 3 speed wiper motor.

Attached is a photo of the end of the wiper linkage arm. There are two brass bushings which fit on the wiper arm and one which goes over the motor area which is a little larger.

Thanks, you peeked my interest so I did some digging and came up with this thread.

Check out member Jules the wiperman; apparently he rebuilds all things wiper related (he is on the thread).

It sounds like this guy Jules did a lot of restoration work for Mopar guys. People like him are hard to find. I'm sure he is missed.

I have not been able to even find a new set of linkage arms, not so sure if anyone sales them. I have seen a lot of used ones, but the bushing are probably like mine, worn out. I have even seen some restored linkage arms, again the bushings were not replaced.

Since I really need new bushings, I'm going to see if this guy my son knows will machine new brass bushings for my linkage arms.

Thanks for the assistance,

George

Thanks for the information, Stephen does restore wiper linkage arms which have the brass bushings. Thanks again.
