These wiper shaft cups fit into the top of the wiper arm and
keep dirt and rain from corroding the attachment nuts to the wiper shaft.
The original windshield washer design had air pressure routed from the spare tire to the washer reservoir. Many owners wish to change the washer system to an all electric system using a 12 volt pump on the reservoir instead of the old air delivery system. The kit we offer (part 955449) is a self contained replacement for the original windshield washer system and includes all hardware and a separate switch.
Windshield Wiper System Maintenance:
The windshield wiper linkage should be lubricated periodically. This can be done with regular engine oil. The wiper mechanism spindle bearing sleeves should be periodically greased.
