B body wiper bushings - info only - 12/27/11 05:42 PM

I get asked about these from time to time and thought pictures might better explain it.

The 1968 to 1970 B-body wiper pivots use these square plastic snap in bushings ( I also believe the same era A-bodies use tham as well )

Here goes.
The bushings themselves

The drivers side end. This one has 2 pins and link connections.
The bushings snap into the link arm and then the pin snaps into the bushings.

Top link goes to the wiper motor crank arm
Bottom link goes to the pass side wiper pivot.

Bill,

I did my 68 road runner wiper stuff a few years ago but my 3 speed bushings etc. on the crank arm were a bit different. I found an NOS "kit" on the net and it matched up perfectly with what I had. Have you come across this before? I think the full part # is 2809040.

It is currently installed on the car and works just fine.

Jim,
sorry, I can't answer that one.
I'm not familiar with the 68's very well. And the '68 Charger I have in the shop is a 2 speed wiper car, so it's no help.
The pics I posted are from a '69 Charger with 3 speed wipers and every piece was indentical to what came off the car.

Jules if your reading this, your more than welcome to chime in

68 only and the crank arm is different also.
69-70 is a 273 part number.
68 is a V speed crank arm.

Can this setup be used on late B body's with the troublesome bushing setup they have?

Nope. Incorrect geometry.
Shaft size and possibly other reasons.
