73 Wiper Linkage Bushings?

[66charger73]

My 73 is nearing completion after nearly 9 months, but the only thing I haven't found that I really need is the windsheild wiper linkage bushings for the pivots. I don't know where I can find them or who might make them? Motormite has part #49440 listed for some mopars 74 and up but I don't know if it's the right part and I would have to order it. What do you guys think?

Have you tried the dealer?  It's surprising how many of those small parts like bushings were used across a bunch of years and applications.
Is it a nylon or brass one?  It may be possible to get some made if you can befriend a good machinist.

I just did my 73 they are the nylon bushings. If I remember right I bought mine from R/T specialties at one of the shows. Most of the resto places carry them.

you can get them from the dealer.  they are the same that were on the trucks all the way up to 91!

Advance auto parts and AutoZone carry them in the HELP section. Its the aisle in the store that has all of the red Help parts, all the little do-dads, door handles, odd ball brake parts etc etc for older cars, good luck.

I got some from napa , about $4 for a pair.

[RD]

HELLO

      TRY YOUR LOCAL CHRYSLER, DODGE, OR JEEP DEALER. I AM PRETTY SURE THE PART # IS 3799089 AND THEY DO COME WITH THE WHITE GREASE IN THE CUP OF THE BUSHING. THE BUSHINGS LIST FOR 3.10 EACH AND YOUR LOCAL MOPAR DEALER SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THEM FOR YOU.

                                                                                                          GOOD LUCK

PS   THESE BUSHINGS HAVE A SMALL LOCATING TAB ON THE SIDE AND ORIGINALLY ARE WHITE, BUT APPEAR YELLOWISH AFTER YEARS IN SERVICE.

grease. NO.

[73Charger]

A BIG Dealer is the best bet.  I tried all my local stores and they did not carry them. pep boys, autozone - could order them from motormite they said, advance, etc. But my local largest dodge dealer had 10 in stock.  They are beige with grease in them.  Took me a few minutes to realize the only way to really install them was to take the whole wiper assembly out. install the bushings into the arms, them squeeze them back together and then insert the whole assembly back in doing a couple while they were in.  just did mine last week when my wipers suddenly stopped on me and I realized mine were totally gone, and one was partially still there but finally broke and couldnt do it anymore.

Got mine also from Autozone and Track Auto.

In the middle of mine right now on the fury...it's a pain in the ass, not sure how to get it all together.  Argh.

On my 74 it was easiest to take out the assembly and install them.
