I imagine if you open the case up you can install a new circlip onto the shaft, of the groove is still healthy.

Re: Smart bar or sway bar
See if you can get the numbers off the seals and match them up at NAPA. Since you are going to take it apart. Now is a good time to clean the factory gunk grease out and use good grease on the slider.

Re: Smart bar or sway bar
Make sure you get the most experienced sales person to help you with this. If you end up with a millennial sales child, he'll waist his time searching for an application that doesn't exist and tell you it's not available. They'll have to use one of those old paper catalogs to look it up by size. Hopefully you'll actually get someone that knows how to use a dial caliper (analog or digital).
Once you find the correct seal number, be sure to share it with the rest of us.
Here's a thread that DamageWagon did on his.
