The drivers side pivot in my 67 was completely worn out ( Seattle car ) so I completely rebuilt both.
Only new parts available are the bronze bushings inside the pot metal housings.
I had to rob a good steel shaft from later model passengers side pivot ( that one is never so worn ). Not a job for the novice. Bridgeport milling machine, reamers, etc.. are required.
I actually considered adding this to the services I offered. Then later I went into my 73 Valiant pivots and found much less wear. I discovered that in many cases simply rotating the housings 180 degrees would get a much less worn bushing surface against the wear area of the shafts. I can't say how many years of improved movement are generated by this repositioning. I can say she never tossed another nylon linkage bushing. Smooth quiet wiper operation in both cars. Sooooo,
When I get the opportunity to suggest marking the housings before removal so they can be rotated 180 degrees at reinstall, good enough.
