Default 403 rear suspension units

I contacted Bill Lawson at BODA and unfortunately the suspension unit seals are not available from BODA. (They do have the seals for the suspension arm units -both the one that is in the ball unit and the one where are the shaft enters the bushing into the rear axle.) He dismantled a spare 406 suspension unit which he had to take a look at the seals. Said it was a fun project and described what he found. I also have just filled my suspension units with a semi liquid grease. If that is the solution to the leaking problem for me and everyone else there will be no need to urge BODA to source and supply the seals.
