The wiper pivots- the bearings that move the wipers back and forth- are close to frozen up on my 1982 D150, i.e. the bearing lubricant has dried up and the extra force needed to move the wipers has already destroyed two of the plastic linkage bushings.
The part I need: Mopar 4085890 4114241 is nowhere to be found.

Any idea where I can get a replacement pivot like this?IMG_5661.jpeg

Thanks, but I contacted them and they did not have the part and did not know where I can find it. I also contacted LMC, and they too offered no replacement.

This seems odd and quite uncommon in the world of replacement parts: a wear item that , if it cannot be replaced, makes the whole wiper system inoperable...

Have you soaked your in some penetrating oil ? May need to work them while in the oil.

Used to use a mixture of brake fluid and ATF on frozen emerg brake cables back in the day, soaked them in that

Great advice. I was just thinking of soaking the pivots in thin oil (10-30W) to re-lube, The bearings in the pivots are not yet frozen, just very hard to turn by hand- the typical sign of dried up lube.
