Dorman 49447 Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushing Assortment | Fits Select Models, 10 Piece

Did the job

Fast

Great if you can’t buy the specific bushing you need and you are handy. I modified one of these to work on my 2001 Forester. Extra bushings gave me 2 tries to get it right. Working well now. Plastic material and the injection molding is good quality.

Great materials but I always do a total replace for all 4 inserts. There's only 2 in the package for a D250. The rest are for other applications. So my "next time pkg" became "this time." This is only reason for 4 stars nstead of 5. Good fit, worked great. I could insert the item in the linkage by pushing the linkage down onto the item using the tailgate until it popped into place So yes for me best approach is take 2 linkages and the wiper heads out of the truck as an assembly. Found I could slide everything as a unit out the passenger side through an oval access hole in the cowl. Helps to zip tie the linkage from motor to the crossover link both to take it out and install the assembly. So the only in truck work is using channel locks to put the link on the motor. Popping the links with new inserts on the wiper heads is done on the tailgate too. Then I zip tie the heads to the links and the links together loosely (to take load off the new inserts). You can slide this unit into the cowl area. Just take ur time, rotate, etc. Took about a third of the time of me installing new inserts when links and heads are in the truck. And remember Rain X is our friend. This and stock manual transmission are the weak links on these trucks IMO

The square one. So far holding up good. Few months. Heat gun (not too much) to soften it a bit, channel lock to "crimp" it on (or use your workbech to to lean on it to push it on the ball maybe). First time I didn't let it cool long enough before I manipulated it and it came off... re-did it and let it cool for about 10 mins. Stayed. A little all-purpose grease on the ball before putting the bushing on if you have it.

Since I first purchased my XJ in 2003, My passenger side wiper would hit the body of the body of the jeep. "Tak, Tak, Tak..." all day. I live in the rainiest city in the US, Hilo, HI, and so I would constantly hear that annoying sound. The wiper cut into the plastic panel, stripped paint, etc. For years, I tried to figure out how to fix it- I tried readjusting the wiper arm... bought an entirely new linkage from a junkyard (but the motor didn't work so I couldn't install it). It was a common problem, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Finally, in 2011, I found out how to fix it- so I ordered this kit. This kit comes with other bushings for different vehicles too, so you will have extras. It only took about 5 minutes to install the bushings (but about 20 to remove and reinstall the linkage), and now I don't have the annoying sound. Yippee!!!

Multiple vehicle's can be serviced with this assortment have not used any as of yet

Arrived in excellent time from the USA, trimmed off the flanges as suggested, added a washer, popped on, hey presto Forester wipers working correctly again. Edit 2021: here we go again- glad I kept the rest of this kit, just used another piece on the same problem with Saab Aero!

I used this kit to fix the wipers in my Xterra. The kit came with an assortment of 4 different types of wiper linkage sockets. I ended up using the one circled in red. As per instructions in the package, I mounted the bar assembly into a vice grip and drilled out the old socket using a 3/8 drill bit. I then attached replacement socket to the bar using the vice grip and a large socket from my socket wrench set, and pushed it into the bar by tightening the vice grip. I then removed the whole thing from the vice grip and re-attached the bar with the new white socket to the small passenger side rotating bar, and re-attached the whole assembly to the car. So far so good, it's working normally.
