...And replaced them with this seal.

No. I did away with these seals, O ring, white teflon seal and metal spacer...

I used a FKM Oil Shaft Seal 32 X 40 X 7mm dbl lip seal to replace the teflon/oring setup. It fit perfectly between lower bearing and snap ring. Oringsandmore has 32 x 40 x 5mm seals that can be used for the lower dust seal and probably better quality too. Conclusion: A Rockauto 8748 kit, add...

Autozone has the correct lower dust seal. If looking it up on their website, it doesn't list it under a vehicle search, bot if you put in the 223210 part number, it shows "lower seal Land Cruiser Steering gear"

The Edelmann kit arrived yesterday. It had the same wrong seals as the FVP kit. I figured it would. The FVP kit included a couple of more teflon seals that I assume go to under the piston somewhere. I didn't want to have the balls all fall out and go through the hassle of getting them put back in.

Further searches revealed that there are 40mm x 32mm seals available in both 5mm and 7mm depths of various qualities. Finding a good seal shouldn't be a problem. The lower dust seal seems to be getting somewhat scarce though.

Does anyone know the OEM part#'s for the o ring and teflon seal?

I checked McMaster Carr for similar teflon seals. None found in metric. It could be possible to use a spring loaded rubber seal to replace the O ring and teflon setup. The closest I found was a 40mm x 30mm. It might be a little to tight on the shaft though. The shaft measured 31.87mm. The...

I looked at various Toyota dealer sites, and the exploded diagrams only show the lower dust seal. SOR's diagram does show all the parts, but shows them discontinued. I kinda doubt if I take the SOR diagram to the local dealer that they'll be able to help me

This seal works well for the lower dust seal. The metal ring, no big deal. The old one can be reused. Just need to find the O ring and teflon seal.

The only wrong parts in the generic kit were the seals in the lower pitman shaft.

Yep, 44456-020 Discontinued. To get back on the road, I put the generic kit in a spare steering box and doubled up on the lower dust seal, putting one side facing up. So far no leaks. I still want to do it right though. I'll attempt to get the all the right parts for the original steering box...

I think Ill quit messing around and get the 04445-60020 kit. All the parts will be correct. Less hassles.

For an early (80 - 84) square pattern steering box, has anyone had luck purchasing an after market reseal or rebuild kit where all the parts fit? I bought an FVP brand 8748 kit for my 83 60. Most parts fit except at lower end of pitman shaft dust seal, O ring and white (teflon?) seal all were...
