I guess it's worth a shot, worse thing they could say is no but I can't imagine that they would brush off a legitimate concern. My car only has 23,600 miles on it but I bought it used and have ZERO idea of how is was treated by the previous owner. The dealer went through it and said it was rock solid. But reading all this info about the bearings does have me a little nervous, I must confess. It seems like a luck of the draw when and where these things will go on you. Thanks for all of the information guys, greatly appreciated!
