We just went ahead and had two brand new axles, with new bearings, brakes, grease, etc installed. Will attempt one more try on a warrantee, but it's time to just suck it and roll.
In a couple days, we're going to call and drop the warrantee. IF we get any $$$ back, it will be a shock.
As a side note, when we were signing the contracts at the dealer, we were rushed by the fellow, many folks kept popping in the room, and I didn't think to read the 14 poorly printed pages before signing.
Live and learn. Umbrella drinks good---extended warrantees bad!!
