Re: My 58 build
I picked up new front springs( made in the U.S.A.). I did not know how worn the old ones were until I had them out, rear bushings completely gone and spring hole worn egg shaped, should make a big difference! Will pull back ones after the holidays.

i googled them, they're a little spendy, $29 to $49 on line. but the arms that the suppliers sell are plain old junk. i've never used my wipers in 20,000 miles and have had to replace 2 wiper arms. had one fly apart going down the road, the other self destructed in the carwash blow dryer
