You mean the little teflon things that hold the linkages together? if so Dorman makes them and they are sold at most auto parts stores .I replaced mine in my 76 Aspen a couple times already.Really poor design , the earlier style clips used on my 65 valiants last forever , these things fail every few yearsDoes anyone know where a new set can be purchased , or is there a cross reference of what will fit
thanks in advance
Swedens a bit far for shippingI have an NOS one for sale.
I have good used pivots. But shipping to Canada is outrageous.
these are what i have the driver side is tight but movable
The passenger side i have 1 that is seized an done that flops all over( wore out)
Does anyone make rebuild kits , All i can find is what seams to be exterior water seals

George, while you have them out you can drill and tap for a grease zerk. I did that to mine.
I have been looking at the photos. How do they come apart?I plan on that its just the movement in the one that concerns me . looks like there should be a bushing in there

Take them apart for rebuild is doable (I've done it) but... they certainly weren't designed for servicing. Then when you find a shaft is also very worn, you still need another pivot. The pivot has a bronze bushing in each end. Between them is hollow like a grease cavity. I think the bushing is 3/8 ID, 1/2 OD, and 1/2 long. I would need to go to the basement to confirm. I can say its standard/generic, available online. Search sintered bronze bushing for vendors.I have been looking at the photos. How do they come apart?
