    1 set consists of 4 matching bushings.

    Two bearing bushes for the drivers (these two bushings are longer, so that almost all of the available space of the hole is used) and two bushings for the passenger side (there it is the same).

    The set is applicable to both manufacturers.

    Furthermore, the set is suitable both for wiper linkage with and without contact pressure adjustment.
    I have not installed these yet. I bought them because if I have this problem in the future I won't have to search high and low for excellent quality parts. I was able to resolve my problem by making a minor adjustment to how the arm is oriented on the drive.

    Update. I did get set of bushings from AirStrike. Today I finally got to taking all this apart. Linkage assembly wasn't bad at all. Large bushings were like new (driver side), smaller ones had some wear but nothing like in pictures in this topic. Good news that there was no corrosion, all came apart nicely.

    I had to machine some basic rods to press out and press in bushings. I have press but it can be done with bolts/etc, there is not much force required. However, because of sizes - will be hard to find proper size bushes..

    Now everything feels tight, didn't finish assembly yet, need to get some plastic clips and lost one metal clip that holds fan cover. Whole disassembly is kind of pita, wonder if I should replace fan while I'm there..

    Speaking of bushes themselves - they fit perfectly. Large ones is not the same as originals (taller) which seems better because of bigger surface area. But it really doesn't matter because large ones hardly wore out. Smaller ones (passenger) is perfect fit.
