Has anyone found some really high quality bushings for the wiper linkage? The crap ones from the "help" section at the auto parts are constantly crumbling on me at the worst time. Better yet, has anyone designed a better way to attach the linkages?

I have used the ones from the help section, I grease them up before putting them on and have not had any problem.

The kit I got had a bunch of bushings for a variety of vehicles , I didn't like having to pay for a variety pack that included a bunch of stuff I could not use, but it was the only place I could get what I needed.

I bought mine at NAPA and applied silicone grease before assembly. Can't say I was 100% satisfied with the fit but they are working so far.

Car Quest had them with just the 2 in the package. They appear to be ok. I had removed the front cowl vent anyway for repainting which makes this a bazzilion times easier to replace them as I took the whole wiper assembly out then you can clean and examine and apply a touch of lube to the shafts if you choose . It requires some force to seat them and doing it on the truck is awkward. Time will tell if they will hold up.
