FJ60 FZJ80 Wiper linkage, Wiper transmission repair bushings

[bubfuji]

Just FYI:
Wipers out of sync?
Loose bushings?

I purchased this wiper linkage/wiper transmission kit on Ebay. The kit ships from the UK.

Pardon Our Interruption...

The Kit was designed to repair every bushing in the wiper linkage rods (known as the wiper transmission, no really! Google it)
The bushings fit the 60, 62, and 80 Series cruisers with a slight modification. The original Toyota bushings were a very tight press fit and did not/should not rotate in place.

The repair bushings have a notch to keep the bushing from rotating in place every time the wiper motor/arm actuates the wipers. You would need to cut a receiving notch when installing the bushing. Or your wiper control arm may already have this notch.

Update:
While it looks like the 80 series LINK ASSY, WINSHIELD WIPER 85150-60111 IS NLA (complete inner cowl wiper linkage, no arms and no motor).
I found from another MUD lister that 85150-60101 will also work on the 80 series. A cursory google search shows this PN is still available.

So did you install this kit? How is it? Photos?

Ditto: the original linkage has also four rubber boots which are now deteriorating from age. Would be nice if someone also offered
replacement boots for the original rubber.
