I know this has been discussed b4 but I haven't seen any recent advice about sourcing the bushes for the wiper actuating arms where they attach to the wiper motor.
My wipers have lots of play, and the passenger side moves down b4 it sweeps up! Now that I have put brand new wiper arms and blades on, my EK wiper motor only has enough oomph to make 1 wiper work but not both!
So at this point I will probably do a Brettf wiper conversion, but I should also replace the bushes.
Has anybody sourced them recently.

DJ thanks for the reply, these don't look anything like the bushes I'm after but you are right they are the only ones available if you wanna believe google.
Does anybody know what these are?

They are original bushes for FX through FB. Made of rubber. The spring clip is only for FX FJ.
I would suggest the easiest way to get the nylon bushes you need is to buy a pair of EK arms and remove them. I have done this for every conversion I have made.
I don't think they are available anywhere as a repro although I did lend a set to someone who was going to make a set of new ones. I don't know if these would be available at all.

There was a bloke on ebay that made a set for me, he has since disappeared
I did have success with some Ford Falcon (XD?) door hinge bushes in my FE Sedan, worth looking into if everything else falls through.

I bought mine from the same guy a few years ago. Please see the details from his eBay web page. I'm a bit crazy I saved almost all the eBay purchases pages into a single document as a reference. Hopefully he is still available. His user id was ladderclaw45

please call on 0431 515 630.
