2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front axel seal question?

[Northrunner]

My front axel seals have been leaking for a while. I'm gonna take my truck to a mechanic to have them replaced. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED WHILE ALL THAT IS APART? Truck has 145,000 miles... thanks.

do your knuckle U-Joints when apart.

Think about the ball joints as well.

Wheel bearing hub assembly?
brake components?

Did you just recently have work done to the axle? It's pretty unusual for it to leak out of the blue. Sometimes a fluid level that is too high can cause them to leak.
