Default Drivers side headlight

Bought another Corvette (1996) to hopefully turn real quick. Have a little problem when I turn off the headlights. The right one rotates to the closed position ok but the driver's side rotates closed, then goes back on about 1/3 then off again then open 1/3 about 4 or 5 times before staying completely closed. I looked at the rod between the open and shut and the track open and close; it looks like they might be bent a little. I can't find those parts anywhere. Anybody know where I can get these or am I on the wrong page with this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Default Check the bushings first

These are a high failure item, and when they go, the headlights usually move after reaching what should be their stopping point.
