Dorman 118-301 Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushings Compatible with Select Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth Models, 10 Pack

I bought some Chinesium grommets, they all broke on installation. These held up. I used a heat gun to warm them while pressing them in with a C-clamp. Used on Chrysler LeBaron and Dodge Dynasty.

I installed these on my 1984 Dodge W150 and they fit great.

Just like OEM

They are kinda PITA to install. I finally took all linkage out of the truck, and used a hammer to get pieces assembled, then put linkage back. After this read some suggesting heating in hot water to soften before installation. Yea, probably a good idea. They do the job. Still seems a dumb way to engineer the linkage. But they didnt intend these trucks to last this long I am sure.

The only way to install these is to remove the links and pivots and press fit in a vise as they are very tight. I believe they will loosen up after much use but at first the motor is really working hard because of the tight bushings. Adding some grease before pressing bushings together does help.

Exact replacements. As others have said, total pain in the butt to install without pulling the entire linkage out. I was only replacing 2 of them so left most of it hooked up. I was able to squeeze under the cowl with a small set of channel locks and an 18mm socket as a spacer. Work well! Thought they might be too tight but wipers move smooth and motor doesn’t seem to strain.

I bought this for my 1987 D150 that had a blue tooth connection between the wiper motor and the and the wiper arm. Cleaned the remnants of the old broken bushing and after adding a little Fluid Film as a lubricant, snapped this right in place. The other bushings look good, so I'll hang on to the rest of these.

Worked good and was as easy as it could be to install
