1973 Satellite wagon.
The connecting link from the left wiper to the right wiper wore out the plastic retianer on the right pivot.
So,I have been driving luckily with only the driver's wiper working and the connecting link dragging on top of the firewall.
I did have some spare C body wiper trans here but the plastic retainers from them are differrent.

Anybody got a spare so i can see where I am going??
Thanks in advance.

EDIT|:
I did use a flat washer and mechanics wire to attach it for the time being,plus lubed the crap out of it so not to oblong the hole in the connecting link.
Oh..and Rain-X wipes,LOL!!!

When I had one go bad on my 73 Roadrunner, I managed to pick one up at Kragen (O'Reilleys) in the Help section.

I had to replace one on my 74 Dodge truck a couple years ago. The dealership had it in stock. I hope yours is that easy to find.

Plastic bushings

The Dorman number is a correct replacement. The Chrysler p/n is 3799089 and may still be available at a Chrysler or Dodge dealer.
I got some at a Dodge dealer a few years ago, They come pre-lubed with a white grease. Dorman# 118-301 is also a replacement for the 3799089
