Did a little digging to find out why my wipers were not working. Well, popped the black vent covers off and all the wiper linkage bars were laying in the cowl, missing all the bushings. Does anyone offer a complete kit to re-bush these so I don't have to search for individual parts? Even the spring lock washer is missing on the motor arm itself. Thanks!
 
"Help" has a multi-application kit at most auto parts stores, although I believe they have been rebranded.
 
Dorman. You can look them up online. The plastic bushings are a common part.
 
One of the few things for our cars you can actually find and buy cheaply, easily, and locally.
 
Classic Industries shows two different bushings one is $7 and the other is $28 each! I believe only the one on the fixed motor arm is the $7 option while the rest are the more expensive one. Again, my linkage bars were laying in the cowl and the bushings were completely gone so I am kinda winging it. Sounds like it is easiest to remove all the wiper linkage and re-bush it on the bench.
 
The Help/Dorman kit has both sides.

...for about $10.
