If you break your tierod and CV joint well offroading should it be covered under warrenty? It was my second time offroading in my H2 and I went too see how much articulation I had, I drove up a hill sideways and BANG the tierod and CV broke. What do you guys think.

SCUMBAG LAWYER!!! Only a blood-sucking lawyer would bring a mud-caked vehicle in to a mechanic so the mechanic has to deal with it.

It is very peculiar. After having just run most of the Rubicon I'm having a hard time visualizing how this could have happened so easily.

How steep was that hill?
Did it break during the roll over?
Didn't you just recently change to bigger tires???
There's only 1 dealership here in B.C. and they haven't had a report of your incident. Give us some more details. Your vague insinuation that a hill will cause a tierod to break sounds fishy.

Alec,
Just lookin at those photos makes my heart skip a beat.  If you're gonna take that beehotch, one word......VIDEO!
That was on Real TV when that Ford Bronco lost brake hydrolics, and went crashing down the side with his girlfriend. They were OK but what a fall!

no no no, that wasn't a ferd, that was a wonderful Gm made(american, oh ya) k-5 blazer, with a girl driving too, wow! I have watched that clip over and over, and she hit the one spot of sand, talk about lucky.. Granted, i think that whole deal could have been different if the reaction was different. How about that SUV that fell off the back side, nobody died in that one either..

I have 37" Super Swamper SSR's that measure 35" tall. This is the second tierod that has broken, the first one broke in a accident. The Parts manager thinks that the tierod must of hit a rock and when it broke the tire traveled past its limits causing the cv to break. I didn't even no the brake line was broken untill the parts manager told me.

What do you mean "you drove up a hill sideways and bang the tie rod and CV broke"?
Exactly what did you do and how fast did you do it?

That's why I didn’t bother fighting for warrantee for my damage. The underneath of my H2 looks like DirtyFun’s picture after Rubicon. Unless the dealer is a friend you really don’t have much of an argument. The problem is going forward; if something happens on the road now they are going to argue that it was damaged off road and just happened to finally break on road. I treated my dealer fairly and built a relationship with the service writer so I think and hope they will be fair with me. They have no problem with warrantee on interior/exterior, engine, etc. We will just have to work through anything that happens to the drive line, suspension, steering, etc. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I think thats the biggest thing you can do, build that relationship, I see it here all the time...

They won't cover it. Most dealers/GM will consider it off-road abuse so I would not count on it. There is an outside possibility the dealer will try to take care of it for you but I doubt it.
Been there done that.

Did you happen to take any pics? Would like to see where it happened, if possible, to try to piece together how it happened.
