Yes, that is the place.Do you mean Cruiserparts.net?
Yeah, not the easiest folks I’ve ever dealt with. Parts all fit and seemed fine. I think I’ll try again with Toyota stealership seals. At this point I’m guessing I must have inadvertently damaged them during installation. I should be able to tell if I have the spring come off with the end of the axle. I’ll repost once I get it sorted out.Do you know which parts you received, exactly? Sometimes it’s as simple as an aftermarket axle seal leaking from the start, and as he said, different bearings can affect preload, but I don’t recall which kit they sell.
Don’t want to worry you, but they don’t have a great rep here, though some have had no issues.

I believe some folks put a little moly grease behind the seal to better keep the spring in place
Did you inspect the axle shafts where the old seals had been riding? Sometimes there can be enough wear that a new seal won’t do its job well enough
They are still 'kingpins' on 80's. Here in Oz we call them kingpins and kingpin bearings. There are two for each swivel hub. Koyo or Timken or SKF are the normally recommended brands. Koyo brand has been merged into Jtekt now btw.Toyota's have trunnion bearings. Some vehicles have king pins. When I asked what kind of trunnions you have, I'm asking what brand bearings and part number you installed. That can affect preload. Anyway hope you get it figured out.
