Default Disapointed

Very disapointing that the Warranty wouldn't cover it. My plan is to upgrade when certain things break. I say go with the Superior ones then egg the GM of that dealerships house.

What was their reasoning for not covering this under warranty?

The dealer told you you abused your Jeep? What did you tell them about breaking the part?

My axle looked exactly like that, and dealership fixed under warranty, no hassle at all. Parts were back ordered for almost 2 weeks though.
