I heard that some vendors sell seals that are not correct, so I'm wondering if that is the issue. I'm sorry that I don't know where to tell you to look for the right ones. If my memory serves me, Early Classic Enterprises has the right ones and I read somewhere that LMC control arms seals are not correct. Maybe someone here has bought some and can chime in.
