try axle seal, hub seal or wheel seal, my advice and what I plan to do, run down to local chain parts store, like napa autozone oreily etc. have them look it up, match it up with what's left or wha looks to fit, buy that, or write down the number off their box, and find the same one from rockauto or somewhere cheaper.

Thats the seal that goes into the end of the axle before the knuckle goes on.

Thats the seal that goes into the differential tube,before setting the ring gear carrier into the bearing stirrups and putting the U clamps around the carrier bearings.
The seal He`s looking for is made of a rubber like material,no steel,and seals the axle u joint yoke to the inner axle shaft guide torrington roller bearings.
