Yes we do have retainer clips, but they are not the regular "almost full circle" ones, they are more like "half moon" shaped, so they look like they could pop off easily. That's why a few people I know tack weld them on.

by the way, love the slogan!! but what if the fat chick carries a step ladder

 

would it help to get a bit bigger retaining clip for them?

 

So I went to a 5 star dealership in Dawson Creek and they told me that because I have even the lift alone the whole Jeep is out of warranty and I have Zero coverage on anything. So I amsked him what if something like the heater stops working isn't that under warranty and he said no... by modifying the Jeep I have given up my warranty

 

They're blowing smoke up your ass. That's simply not true or even legal. Go to another dealer.

 

X2, That is totally wrong you should call somebody higher up on the ladder their and get them to take care of there responsibility's.

 

HMM?
Are the laws different in Canada? I see your from B.C.
If that's the case, that sucks.
I would upgrade to cromoly's and proper U-joints and call it done.

 

oh man, search for the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that is what we have in the states, see if Canada has something similar?

 

do the axle U joint have clips? I dont remember seeing any on the axle shafts. they are there on the driveshaft.

 

OK so I took my Jeep into the shop to get the drivers side axle seal redone and the drivers side U-Joint replaced... before I took it in I re installed the stock rims and tires and dropped it off. That was enough to keep the axle under warrenty they said with just the lift I loose my warrenty on drive shafts and some steering components as lo0ng as the failure was caused by the lift. as for my u-joint problem it looks as though I will be without my JK for about a week as they have to replace both axle shafts on both sides.. they said the ears on the inner shaft on both sides are bent out just a little and they would have never kept U-Joints in them. So everything is getting replaced under warranty and soon I will have my jeep back without the little driveline vibration it has had since new.

The people who told me my Jeeps warranty was void for haveing a modification done to it were from a 5 star dealership and the dealership that accepted the warranty claim without question is still trying to become 5 star
