Description
OE BC1N-67-360C — this wiper linkage is built as a straight swap for the original assembly on the Mazda Protege 323 (1995-1998). It reuses the factory mounting points and the original wiper motor.
Uneven wiping, a blade that lags on one side, or a knock on every pass usually traces back to worn pivots rather than the motor. If the linkage is left in place, the extra load is passed on to the motor and gearbox.

Replaces OE number: BC1N-67-360C. If the number on your old linkage matches, this is the correct replacement.
Why the original part fails
On a high-mileage vehicle the linkage outlives the bushings inside it. Once a pivot stiffens, every sweep pulls harder on the motor, and the wiper arm timing drifts out of position.
- POM bushings, DuPont grade — The original soft bushings wear oval and let the pivot move off-centre. A harder, dimensionally stable bushing keeps the clearance the linkage was designed with.
- Brass bearings at the pivot pins — Carries the load at the point where the factory part scores, so service life is not limited by a single wear surface.
- Aluminium pivot arms — Adds stiffness to the linkage under load — this is what stops the assembly flexing and skipping.
- Galvanised and coated steel — Water from the windscreen drains straight over this area. Coated rods and brackets resist rust and seizing in wet climates.
- Pre-greased on assembly — The unit goes in ready to run, so there is no extra greasing step during fitting.

Frequently asked questions
What is the usual lead time?
Lead time depends on quantity and whether you need neutral or branded packing. Send us the quantity and your destination port and we will confirm the schedule in the quotation.
Do you cover other models from the same platform?
Very often yes — several vehicles share the same linkage. If you tell us the models you buy for, we will check the full cross-reference and bundle them into one shipment.
How do I confirm this Mazda Protege 323 linkage is the right part?
Match the OE reference BC1N-67-360C against the number stamped or printed on your original linkage. If your part carries a superseded number, send us a photo of it and we will confirm the match before you order.
