These guys are in Ireland and selling bushing kits to repair wiper linkages.
I bought a kit off them a few years back to repair the wiper linkage on a 2006 Q7. Only cost about €20 and easy to fit. They may never have seen a D2 wiper linkage though as A8’s are pretty rare over here. There can only be so many variations of an Audi wiper linkage though.

That looks worth checking out. In the past Ive swapped my wiper linkage over for a less worn one but i still get wiper "slap" on high speed setting. MJ has been looking at this issue for a while now but if there's a supplier of a kit of parts that would be useful for those without MJs skills and tools.

I emailed them back in January 2021 but never got a reply. That was when their address was whiteengineering.ie
