Well, I've been happily working on my interior gray to brown swap and general quality of life upgrade on our '84 60.
The wipers have been terrible since we got the truck and I decided to have a look.
The motor is good, the plastic bushings are ok the bearings in the cowl mounted pivots are bad and have a lot of play.
Before I can do a 4Runner Arm upgrade I need these to be solid.
I ordered an ebay Malaysia made setup to get us through until I figure out how to rebuild this one OR puny up the $425 on Ebay for a new assembly. It doesn't rain much here so should be fine.
Trouble is the plastic bushing that connects to the motor on the new part does fit (I think)
I haven't tried real real hard to push the new plastic cap onto the ball but I think the flat upper part will interfere?
PS - I can't find the post where someone rebuilt there wiper assembly with spherical bearings and aircraft sized sealed units in the pivots. Anyone have that link?
