Ok, I took the 100 in to have the CVs checked out. The tech said, yep they are leaking. I was thinking to myself, ok, luckily I have a Toyota certified vehicle and it clearly states the cv's are covered. So the tech calls the warranty company and he explains they are leaking and the person on the other end says we do not cover the boots. WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is the third repair that the Toyota certified warranty has not covered.
Here are my options
1) Replace boots at $395 per side
2) Drive the SOB and replace axles when the grease finally gives out at $405 per axle plus labor
3) Call the warranty company back and bitch and moan and explain what the fawk a cv does and that the boot is part of the mechanism and that it should be covered under the warranty and continue to push my complaint up the chain. However there is a risk because I do have the front end lifted with aftermarket t-bars and the cv's are at a greater angle than stock.
What do you think I should do? Any insight would be greatly appreaciated.
