I take to mean what I call a 'wiper pivot' .. the shaft that turns, in a bushing/mount affair, that the wiper arm bolts to. I wouldn't look online myself though. If the poster does not find one I can supply one , a good used original one . The part that is secured into the body with a large nut. ( hidden under a plastic cap ) and has the shaft sticking through it. scott www.turbovans.com
