PDX Matt Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 If your linkage is anything like mine, the plastic bushings have either broken or worked their way loose. My issue was both and earlier today when I quickly turned the wipers on/off I heard the inevitable snap. Took off the cowl and indeed my 30+ year old bushing had broken. I was afraid that I was going to have to special order some specific parts online but decided to check out my local auto stores anyways. I actually find a solution that's cheap and effective. I found an assorted wiper linkage bushing kit at O'Reilly's made by HELP! Part number is 49447. Inside there are various bushings, however the one you need is this one. The new one compared to the broken original. The assortment costs $4.50 and includes 3 of the bushings shown above. Fits perfectly and got my wipers functioning once more. If anyone needs a cheap and simple replacement for their wiper linkage bushings I recommend going this route. 6 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 good find man, these things seem to always end up breaking Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 good find. Assuming this is for a 620, are they similar to other datsun models and linkage? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 he used it on a 620, looks the same at my GF's 710 too Quote Link to comment
PDX Matt Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sorry I should've mentioned that. This was on my 620. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks! Have been wondering what to do about that on my truck! :D Quote Link to comment
grazapin Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 This saved me some time yesterday morning when I was warming up my B210 and the wipers stopped mid-swipe. Picked this up at my local O'reilly, clipped off 2 opposite tabs (the wiper linkage has just 2 notches around the hole) and it snapped right in. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
