NAPA.

Or get one from the dealer.

Really, the Autozone seal should be fine. The problem is picking up crud on the axle from the inside of the tube while the axle is pushed in and getting that crud on the lip of the seal. If you haven't done it already, run rags through the tube to clean the inside real well.

No need to get rid of the whole axle, as the disco housing axle is actually stronger (just the UCA mount). just swap in one piece axles into it. Really easy to do.
