Yes, the u-joint is covered. If it is bad you might want to change as much as you can. I would have them change ball joints and new front hubs. There have to tear that all out anyway so you are really just paying for the parts more or less.

Well I just got my answer from the Big Man himself DR Z and he claims that they are warrantied. So I will probably have the dealer to the Ball joints also

Mine went out on the drivers side at 68k, the dealership couldn't get the hub and bearing assy. off and wanted me to pay to replace pads, rotors, and bearing assy. You may want to spray some PB blaster on the mating surfaces a few days before you go in.

I would think any damage done trying fix something would be under waranty. But I will ask first and spray them down.
