Hub bearing & warranty issues

[TML529]

I took my GXP in to get an alingnment yesterady & I was told that my hub bearings were shot so in to the dealership I went today & it turns out both sides were bad so I had both sides repalced under warranty.Yes the hub bearings are covered under the 5yr/100k powertrain warranty for all of you who were unsure.Those idiots at the dealership known as service writers tried to tell me that my 5yr/75k extended bumper to bumper warranty I bought at the time of purchase was in fact a USW aftermarket warranty the requires a $100 deductible. I spent all of an hour argueing with them, until I finally had to have my wife bring my purchase contract to the dealership,which by the way was 30 miles away.Yes,I had a good day.

Yeah, it won't be the last time you replace those..... I think they last 50k or less in all GP's

Yes I am learning. One thing I will be doing is selling my 20's. In my opinion they're putting more stress on am already weak spot in the drivline components. I might step down to 19's or just stay ay 18's & just find a nice menacing looking wheel with a lip.

I'd suggest 18's, hopefully the 20's haven't done any damage to your trans yet.... sadly the bigger rims do a number on the hubs and transmission of the W-body

I haven't noticed any shifting problems with the trans yet-knock on wood.
