Hydraulic Steering Seals?

Who do you use for ordering Seastar hydraulic steering seals? A close buddy of mine bought the cheap ones from Amazon and they only lasted a couple months. Looks like Boats.net doesn't have any.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't you buy direct from Teleflex?
FYI, I once rebuilt one with the cheapie Viton O-ring kit from Harbor Freight. Went about four seasons before it started leaking again, but I think that was because the SS rod had a less than perfect surface and
so it abraded the seals I installed. Ended up putting a new ram in the boat and its been fine since.
