AFAIK, the only O-rings on the king pins are used to seal either end of the 
spring-loaded tubular dust cover.  I think 
cork washers are still used on the lower trunnion (but I haven't bought a set 
in years).

Any suitably-sized O-ring should work; just measure the diameter of the king 
pin and buy an O-ring; nitrile are best for 
oily environments.   They might be differently sized.
