78 F250 4x4 Steering Gear Pitman seal

Hey guys, I need to replace the pitman arm shaft seal again and the first time I did it, I thought I put things back in order they came out, but I don't think so because the seal blew out in no time. Here's what came off in order..... snap ring, dust shield, silver bushing (larger I.D), black thicker bushing (smaller I.D), and then seal. What would the correct order be if that's not right?

A always buy the complete kit and a lower kit. That way you have 2 seals, the way it came from the factory. Running one seal and the spacer just doesn't work.

Well, I did get it together after some struggle just getting the pitman arm off. I'm hoping to fire the truck up again this weekend to see what I have. Wish me luck.
