This one:

Ford F81Z-4A322-AA - SEAL

That is for 99-04, not beyond.

You might try the parts counter at a dealer, they can take your year and model and probably show you some technical drawings to help get you to what you need.

This is the big one:
SKF 28600 Axle Shaft Seal

This is the dust seal:
National 710413 Oil Seal

The one I do not know is the black seal that goes on the engagement hub itself as I've always toss those hubs and replaced with Warn.

Ok I have replaced this one the yellow o ring that fits on the back of the hub. Still does not pull a good vacuum on this side.
Is the other seal the black o ring on this part



Or is there yet another seal on the axle that needs to be replaced

Regards Mark

You can get that hub seal at Advance Auto, Dorman made.
The yellow ones the wheel bearing seal.
The big axle seal looks like a huge donut.

To clarify if I can't draw a vacuum and I have replaced the yellow o ring, which seal could it be leaking (or drawing air thru) to prevent a vacuum.

There are three seals Mark. The Axle seal, the wheel bearing seal and the hub seal. Any one of them can cause it.

Sorry, I dont. Got mine from Advance, just put in the year and searched. They came right up, hub seal, axle seal.

Buy on line, use code TRT30, saves 30% up to $50 off a $150 purchase. Then do in store pick up.

The axle seal requires a tool to set.

The vacuum test set for the front end also has
an adaptor for the hub. You set the hub with the
yellow O-ring on it and pull it down and see how
long it holds.

The same kit has a test set for the knuckle also.
