If your only a thousand miles out of your warranty, the dealership should be able to help you out. If they won't, ask the service mgr. for the regional DC reps. name and #. Express your concearns to them. They should be able to help you out a bit. My ball joints went out at 38K miles on my 01 exploder and Ford dealer paid for labor and I bought parts at their cost. Worked out good.
