Fellow Jeepers, I have a 2007 JK Sahara and fluid is leaking on the inside of passenger tire.
Pulled the tire and see NO sign of any brake line or attachment point leak. I'm attaching several pics which shows how dry all the brake lines appear to be, but there is one specific part that is wet. I "believe" the wet part is the "Steering Knuckle" but you may know better than I. I would appreciate any advice on how to figure out where the leak is occurring and what I should do to repair it. Thank you !

The carrier has to be pulled out so that the seals can be put in and old ones removed, so basically the whole front axle has to be torn apart.

The hardest part is replacing the seals without a special tool that will help get them in straight without damaging them. Don't know if any Parts Stores rent that kind of a tool or not.
