[WANTED] Windshield Wiper arm bushings!!

[tnts72]

Anyone have a lead on good wiper arm bushings, picked some up from teh help section and they are so hard they are impossible to get clipped onto the pegs... Got them in the arm, but could not get them to clip into place... 3218826 is the original number and they are still somewhat soft, wondering if I pick up another set and put them in some boiling water for a bit if I could get them to go in... Anyone?

Dropped mine it hot water to soften them of, then seated them with a socket & rubber mallet. Take your time, they'll fit. Gotta been tight or them suckers will pop off at the most inopportune time LOL.

Are you referring to the foam type bushings to prevent water from leaking to the interior?

Also a drop of Dawn and something tapered to slip bushing in place.

Easy.

No just looking for the rubber bushing to hold the wiper arms in place. I will try the hot water trick again. Didn't think of heating up a socket and using that to press it on... Thank you guys. Called my local dodge dealer and they don't carry that number anymore, surely it has been replaced by something else

NAPA carries them on a spinner rack. They are fresh and flexible. Dan
