    Ok, so yeah you guys are right, I just got excited. Not a recall just like extended coverage. Which dealership can fix, although if not deemed the issue, I have to pay $125 for a diagnostic fee. I've read the way they test is the" wheel shake test, when they grab it and feel for play. Mine doesnt move, but sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies's driving down the road and in a parking lot. I decided not to go that way since dealership kinda got attitude with me. So I went irrational and called BMR and bought super pro lca and radius arms, and sway bar ends links. They waived the shipping, which Is a plus ( especially cross country). Hopefully they are amazing!! Come on ups!!

    joeygr8gt, Yes, but only if you received the notice and hit the lottery in that your vin had been picked as possible effected.

    Did they use the same arms throughout the whole g8 line? Shouldn't they all be the same arms, and therefore all be covered under extended coverage?

    I got my reimbursement check last week from the dealership. I had mine replaced about 18 months ago. Then got the notice of extended coverage 3 weeks ago. Dealer was very good to work with. My check took only 3 days from when I contacted them.

    How does the reimbursement work? I replaced mine this spring but I did my own work. Does it have to have been done by the dealer?

    I'm not sure, but they did include a reimbursement form in the paper work.

    You do not need to have the work done at the dealer. I replaced my arms about a year ago. I took my receipt from Pace for the four control arm kit ($293.33) and the completed rebate form to the dealer and had a check for my cost of parts in a little over a week.
