Hi everyone! My wiper linkage just went out. Anyone have a spare laying around they'd be willing to part with?
Figured I'd check here before heading out to the local pick-n-pulls this weekend.
Thanks!

Re: Wiper Linkage
Can you be a little more specific on what the broken linkage is 
Wiper arm?
Rotating assembly under the sheet metal?
Little stud that wiper arm attaches to?
Motor?
How about a photo of broken part

Re: Wiper Linkage
Hey so it was the wiper arm. The hook that connects to the motor was worn so thin that it broke. I pulled a new linkage assembly from an 85 or 86 FWD Tercel.
I got that new wiper arm installed and it worked great for about a week...
My issue now is with the wiper linkage bushing.
Found this fix on the forum...

Was wondering if anyone has tried that or anything else to get those bushings to stick?
Would a strong adhesive work?
Thank you!
