Wiper Woes on 96 ES

Help!

The wipers quit on my daughters 96 ES. The wiper motor was turning, but the arms weren't moving. I pulled the whole assembly out and found the culprit. The rods attached to the wiper motor use plastic connectors (kinda like a ball and joint connector). One of these connectors is worn-out and keeps popping off.

QUESTION: Can just these connectors be replaced or do you have to buy a complete assembly??? I called a local Dodge Dealer and parts guy said I have to by a wiper motor ($200) and the motor comes with new rods attached. I checked Advance Auto and Auto Zone, they have the motors in stock but the rods do not come on them??? My wiper motor is fine, can I buy just the connectors or the rod assembly somewhere???

yes you can buy the upper and lower links seperate part# for upper is4723417
and lower is 4723416 also make sure the pivots aren't siezing causing this wear

Thanks!

It's crazy that Dodge won't sell the plastic connectors, but then they wouldn't be making all of that money now would they?
