Wiper Linkage Bushing Replacement

[Beam318ti]

Looking for some advice and input from the forum members who may have run into the same issue.

As part of the cleaning and refreshing of the wiper linkage, I succeeded in destroying one of the plastic/nylon bushing on the linkage arm.

I searched the forum for clues and RealOEM but I could not find a part number for the bushing or if it was even available.

The P/N for the entire arm is: 61611810584. However, this is NLA.

W&N shows an image for the entire arm even though it is NLA from them as well. However, the bushings have changed to what looks like a rubber bushing.

I was looking to see if anyone else had run into the same issue and what solutions they came up with?

Thanks for your help.

I found something from Dormer a few years ago that worked Sorry, don't have any part numbers They were a generic wiper pivot bushing I did have to do a little tweaking to get the bushing to fit 100%

Thanks, Rick

I think the plastic bushings are not replacement parts, ie not designed to be replaced.

Easiest option, I think, is to source a used metal rod with the two bushings in place.
