73' Charger Wiper Arm Bracket ? How to fix?

On my 73' Rallye Charger my wipers stopped working.
This  is all I have left that I can find by the wiper motor.
javascript:void(0);
Does someone make a re-build kit that has the clips and plastic spacers/bushings?

Am I missing any other pieces that a re-build kit would not have?

Thanks all !

Dorman makes replacement Windshield Wiper Linkage Bushings for the arm. Do a search to get the exact fit.

Thank you ! Yes I believe it is. Did they make a 3 speed?
Then I just buy 2 clips and 2 bushings? Looks like the connects to the driver wiper then to the motor?

Hey did you find everything and fix it? I'm having the same issue and need just about everything you needed to fix it. What did you end up getting if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks in advance.

I never have paid attention to this thread before. Need to note, some earlier cars got brass bushings and clips on all the linkage ends, some other ( later ) cars got capped plastic bushings with snap on setup for the shafts. These late doesn't need the clip

About the driver shaft... two speeds are diff from 3 speeds, so need to know what you got and what's the problem

You say gone, meaning clips, crank, links?
There is a pic somewhere here that shows the setup. Here is what the parts book has:

Thanks for posting that! Yes looks like I may be missing a few pieces. Just bought the plastic bushings.

Nacho-RT74

I repeat, if using the later plastic bushing just need THAT. no need fo clips on those because later bushings are snap on kind and hold the shaft on hole. Gromet is just for protection spacer is the actual bushing when retainer is required.

THIS BUSHING don't need any clip or spacer

If you are missing the crank, they are specific to the car and motor.
3431635 is the one you need. Either ebay or http://www.passion4mopars.com/

Thanks for the help everyone. All I needed was the plastic bushings like Nacho said. We pulled the crank and both of the inside wiper mounts out and pressed on everything outside of the car then put it in as one assembled unit. Working well, just need new blades now. I never drive in the rain anyway.  :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:
