Post subject:  Bad U-Joints (so far)
Thank you 7-70,000 mile warrenty. Droped the Jeep off at the stealership and the called me a couple of minutes ago claiming the rear u-joints are bad. I took the Jeep in for a clunking in the front when you are going about 70mph.

Does not sound right to me but if it going to be replaced under warrenty might as well go for it. I'm not going to take it off the lot until my noise is gone anyhow.

Do you have to pay anything? I've always heard there is a deductible of $100 with the power train warranty. It is a great warranty.

The CV AND the U-Joint are bad now? Wow. Is it a $100 deductable for both parts or $100 each?

Wow, do you have a lift? Unusual for all that to go bad.

Its just a hundred period. I won't have to pay any more than that no matter how much stuff they find wrong (as long as it is in the driveline).
