Wheel Bearing & U-Joint Warranty 7/70 Coverage?

Are front wheel bearings and/or front axle u-joints covered by the 7/70 warranty?

My '04 has developed a chirp/squeek when turning and suspect it could be a bad u-joint or wheel bearing. ~57K miles on the clock.

If the warranty covers any of it I'll have the dealership do it.
If not then I'd need to further diagnose, order the parts and replace them myself.

On the 3/36, yes, not on the 7/70. Some have reported getting a replacement but more a customer loyalty issue, I think.

Check your owner's manual, pretty sure that's covered under the 7/70 powertrain warranty.

the u joints yes the bearing, no.............but it also states in the warranty that if a covered part damages a non covered part, they will replace that part too. soooo, if your u joints r shot, drive the snot out of it till everything else goes.

sorry, but those bearings and joints r just built like junk...and the dealers get way too much to fix that junk just to replace it with more junk. my bad joints took out my stub shafts when they went bad and dodge replaced them too under warranty, next time itll be on my dime.
