I am restoring the wiper linkage on my Charger. The three black plastic bushings are all very dry and brittle, and I definitely don't want to put them back in. Here is one that I removed.


I've found this style, but they look significantly different, and I leery of using them.

Does anyone know a source I could try for the original black style?
Thanks

The one in the link are flat wrong, they will fit a 90 New Yorker though. Look on ebay I know I've seen them.

Hey AKMat...how do you get those connections apart...I pried with a big screw driver, hammer, tried pliers with no success.
I did not want to bend the arms!! Thanks Blair

Blair,
Sorry for the late reply - I haven't check in lately.

Separating the arms is pretty straight forward and it won't damage the arms as you mentioned.

I inserted a large flat-tip screwdriver underneath the bushing and twisted to apply upward pressure.

No worries.. I gave them a shot of spray lube, and popped right off. Got the 3 bushings from Mega parts E Bay store, blasted and painted, put in a couple grease nipples..
and installed them, turned out awesome. Thanks for the reply...Cheers
