Any body know who sells the nylon bushing and retainer that attaches the linkage to the wiper motor on a 1970 A-body? Are they still available from Mopar and does anyone know the part numbers? If not, what's the best A/M source?

Thanks!


Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

You don't happen to have the part numbers anywhere do you?

3799089 for the part number in the pic but I think 1970 takes a different bushing.

Thanks!! I'll check my local dealer and if it's a no go I will contact you.

I seem to recall there is also some sort of metal retainer clip that slips over the bushing. Anyone know if that's correct or is it just the bushing?

Oh... then you have an earlier setup, not the one I posted. Whites are sealed on top, and linkage studs simply clip on

maybe retainers you talk are like this:

and maybe accomplished with what bill is ofering you ( black ones )

I redid mine last year and all it had were the black
bushing / clip ons. No other parts but it could
have been missing them. Seems to work fine without.
