So about 6-7 months ago Meineke replaced my lower ball joints because they were out of spec. I recently had my car serviced by a Mitsubishi dealer who replaced the upper control arms, the pitman arm, and the idler arm. They also told me my lower ball joints were out of spec again.

I have an aftermarket warranty that covered all of the work done at the dealer (and previously at Meineke) but they would not cover the lower ball joints again because they said the parts should be covered under Meineke's warranty.

Meineke is telling me that they are indeed in need of replacement, but they have not yet agreed to cover the labor involved to replace them?!? I understand it is about $400 in labor...

I have never heard of a parts warranty that doesn't include labor??? Is this normal? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
