Detailed Product Information

This Dorman wiper linkage bushing, part number 49456, is engineered for the linkage pivot point where the wiper transmission connects and moves the wiper arms. The capped bushing design and measured dimensions help support a proper fit in the linkage assembly, making it a direct replacement choice for vehicles such as the Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-150, Ford E-250, Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer. If you are searching for a Ford Ranger wiper linkage bushing or a replacement for a Ford E-Series windshield wiper linkage, Dorman 49456 is built for that service role.

What It Helps Fix

• Loose or worn wiper linkage connection
• Erratic or uneven windshield wiper movement
• Excess play in the wiper transmission pivot
• Noise from worn linkage bushings
• Loss of consistent wiper arm motion on Ford and Mercury applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bushing dimensions against the original part before installation: 14 mm inside diameter, 18 mm outside diameter, and 20.7 mm height. Confirm the vehicle application and linkage style on the specific Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, or Mercury Mountaineer before service. Inspect the surrounding wiper linkage components for wear so the replacement bushing seats correctly and the linkage operates smoothly.
