My truck is a shwab now. Had to have it towed yesterday after my steering rod end broke in a parking lot. 66k on my 07 diesel Ram. I did new axle U joints last summer. Put in Spicers. I didn't have hardly any noticeable movement in my outer ball joints. I'm also having the other tie rod bushings replaced since I have it in the shop. I lifted it a 6" a week after I bought it new and turn 37's so I knew parts would wear faster but the breaking steering rod was a little sketchy and I will be contacting Chrysler for reimbursement.
Let us know how the reimbursement goes, I was told by Chrysler they would only send a check if was done by an authorized dealer. I sent them receipts for driver and passenger tie rod ends with no luck. I broke the passenger one but the recall covers the drivers side. 
Typical corporate company response... They would have considered it, and I use that term lightly IF it would have been replaced with mopar parts. Second since it wasn't an authorized dealer doing the repair they wouldn't cover labor, the whopping $17 Shwab charged me. I may now just take it to the dealer since it does qualify for the recall and tell them I want it replaced with genuine mopar parts. I wonder how they would treat me?
