Auto Parts: Winshield washer linkage bushing, dodge ramcharger, plastic bushings

Question
Where do I find the plastic bushings that hold the wiper linkage together at the pivot? My wiper blade was frozen to the windshield and broke the insert with the result being only the drivers wiper worke. A part number or correct name of this would be appreciated. Vehicleis an 86 Dodge Ramcharger Royal SE with a 360 CI engine.
Thanks

Hi Rick,

You MAY find just the bushing in the "help" section of your local NEW auto parts store but chances are if you want both wipers to work again a wiper transmission will be what you'll need to purchase. No one stocks parts for 22 year old vehicles anymore, especially parts such as you are searching for.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
