Windshield wiper went on the passenger side about a year ago. So i took it apart... popped the arm back on... all was grand for a few months... did it again and again every few months.
So I finally decided to get a new bushing from the dealer... should be a 25 cent fix. Even with the inflated dealer price, max $5.
Turns out they don't sell just the bushing, you must buy the whole unit with motor and all. Mind you, the wiper motor is perfectly fine.
Drove to the junk yard to see if I can get just the arm or bushing.... same deal. He wanted to charge me a $150.... He said he'd do it for $100 cash. I told him brand new after market is $150, and the most I would go is $50 cash.
Long story short... got the new assembly for 50 smackers... installed it myself. Still pissed cause it was only a 25 cent problem.
The more you know...
