1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Was getting ready to have the front/rear window installed and I thought I better recheck that everything in the dash was working OK because you cant get the dash out after the front window is installed. Everything worked ok except that when I ran the wiper, the motor started to squeal!! It had been sitting since I had it professionally restored in Apr 2019. It sounded like a dry bearing. Sure enough, the outboard bearing was essentially dry and the shaft showed signs of grooving.
I'm hoping I can polish the shaft and inside of the bearing and it will be ok. Just not sure yet on what lubricant to use.
Another step backwards!!!
