Yes very much so. If you leave them alone, they can hang in there. But as soon as you pop the arms off for whatever reason they tend to fall apart. Or at least one end does

highly recommended and much cheaper than buying the arms.

THANKS!

Awesome thanks Aaron, I think you got my first international set

When they pop on it is a satisfying feeling

You are most welcomed, I'm just being honest. My mechanic saw and is interested in ordering a couple sets to sell/install on cars he knows that's needs, and one of his customers who was also there and saw the before and after was sold also.

I can do sets of 6, 4 headlight and 2 wiper if people are interested. Postage on just 2 bushes would be the same as 6 and could be prohibitive. Just trying to get a straight answer from New Zealand Post, why I can't send them in a envelope as a "letter" to keep shipping costs down.

Thanks for going through trouble of remaking a much needed part. I fortunately found a source for the bushings in another application. I'll keep that source nameless but I'd been better off buying yours. lol Took me forever to find something that used the same size. Even if they are a $1 or so each.

These new bushing replacements look great! I opted for new "long" and "short" headlight arms from Mazda. Figured if they last me another 31 years like the originals I can cough up the money.

I like this two-piece option because I can remove them without fear of breaking. This will allow me to powder coat the arms.

I searched using your topic line:

I was trying to reply to a different post and stuck it here by mistake.
