Hey all, quick question, my windshield wiper linkage makes a horrible clanking sound every time the wipers operate, I found the area it is loose. I was wondering if there are some bushings that should be installed that may have fallen out, and if so where I might source them?
He Phil: On the windshield wiper arm bushings .. Advanced Auto Parts has a "Variety Pak" that sells for $ 3.99 and the part number is # 49447 . There are several types of bushings in the pak for Fords, Chevys, Etc. This might be an option for you . I wish you success . ( This might be an opportune time to change the Wiper MOTOR also while you're in there..) I changed mine on the '70 just in case. Forty plus years is a long time for any electrical device on a car so I figured it was due .. I wish you success. Cometized ( Chip)
Thanks Chip! That's very helpful, I'll have to pick up the kit, it will be nice to operate the wipers without scaring my passengers to death.
I can barely see one linkage with the gauge cluster removed. I just reached up under the dash and felt it with my hand. I have to do the heater core too so I might as well try to remove the assembly when i do that. I assume most of the dash has to come out to service it?
