Title: Wiper shaft bushes Post by: Fraze on May 24, 2021, 08:04:02 AM The wiper actuating shafts, behind the dashboard, have a nylon/plastic bush at ech end. The bushes on my wipers are worn out and I would like to replace them. Has anyone worked out a fix for these? Thanks, Fraze

When I replaced the pins and bushes in my front door hinges I kept the old brass bushes..I had the same problem when I replaced the vacuum wiper with electric motor...the rubber bushes were perished..I cut the old brass bushes down and used them in the wiper arm holes,I soldered them in the arms and they fit and work well hope this helps Cheers Dennis Title: Re: Wiper shaft bushes Post by: Fraze on May 25, 2021, 07:55:41 AM Thanks Dennis, that is certainly worth trying, Fraze
