Windshield wiper arm bushings

The plastic little cups for the wiper assembly have fallen apart. I went to the dealership but all they would sell is the entire assembly for $140ish. Anyone else replaced their bushings? Not really happy about paying $140 for $1 bushings.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look!
Also, I found some parts at Checkers to replace just the bushing, and this thread details it all. Seems like a common problem. So if your wipers are flopping around, its probably the plastic washer/bushings!

You got that right! And now more problems... probably should do a full fluid change/flush, plugs, wires, gaskets. car is starting to overheat, probably thermostat.
