Default 2008 Xterra Off Road Rear Axle Seal

I have a 2008 Nissan Xterra Off Road Automatic and the right rear axle seal is leaking. The leak soaked the Parking brakes and disc brake pads. It also has a howl when you apply the accelerator pedal at highway speeds.

I'm planning on replacing the right rear axle assembly since its toast. Should I also replace the driver's side axle assembly while I'm at it? I know it cost more. Trying to do some preventive maintenance at 108,000 miles.

Also, are the replacement parts in the technical bulletin improved parts or the same OEM parts that came on it from the factory? Wondering if this will happen again.

Anything else I should check or inspect while Im doing this service?
