Work well as intended
These clips work as intended. They took over an hour to install. Getting to the pivot points and installing them is a little challenging. Helped to watch a few online videos to see how to get access to the wiper arm pivot points.

Fits 1994 Dodge Ram b250 van
These are cheap - order one extra set more than you need in case you damage any if them during replacement. Fits 1994 Dodge Ram b250 van wiper arm actuators. I added a dab of wheel bearing grease inside of the cup before installing each grommet of every ball joint. This is not required but might have helped with installation and almost certainly will help reduce friction and thereby reduce wear and maintain tight operation. Install flat side first and cup-to-ball-joint side second. Using a C clamp and an appropriately sized socket to install flat side was a great tip by another reviewer. I also used adjustable pliers (like Amazon ASIN item B09B77GZMR) to install. Install as much as you can outside of the vehicle as it will be easier than doing it in the cramped cowl area. The final installation was completed by me and a friend working together to leverage the actuator arms and flex the grommets onto the ball joints of the motor arm and wiper swivel arms while seesawing or rocking it back and forth while prying everything into position. This was not a straight forward job. It required a little ingenuity and creativity. It took about 1 hour from start to finish including removing the wipers, cowl, disassembly and reassembly of the actuator arms and grommets and putting everything back together. Remember to function test the wipers before reassembly. Keep your hands and tools away from moving parts before you test the wipers - those arms look like they would cause significant injuries. I did not heat up the grommets or microwave them before installing like some have suggested. I wouldn't recommend doing that myself unless it's freezing outside. I did this job on a warm day but using the right tools and techniques made the job go smoothly. These are designed to have a tight fitment. If you do heat them up just be careful not to overdo it. Remember, order an extra set just in case something goes wrong.

Not right for Japanse cars, Not for Suzuki Sedan car.
These do NOT fit a Suzuki (Kizashi), they are too small, and v hard; however got Dorman #49448 (3rd Pic) to fit, after many tries, much pressure, ... as they are hard, so softening w/heat, helps, but still tight, ... wasted a few, before finally getting it in!, (2nd pic is original bushing separated and upside down ). Gave 3*'s bec it is not their fault, they are not compatible,.. I ordered to try jic,..! Txand TO Seller: do u have much bigger ?
