C32 Pilot Bushing recall? Warranty?

Had anyone had their 32 fixed for this yet? One of many things being done to mine. My aftermarket warranty will cover one side but not the other. Since it is an updated part it requires both sides be replaced. Ends up being around $700 out of pocket on my end.
Anyone have this fixed under warranty?

Symptoms are just what you described. I actually didn't notice anything wrong, but when I was in last time getting the service B done the tech explained (with a wink) that if i should happen to start hearing odd noises when going over bumps that there was a new recall out there. It replaces a lot of the suspension parts up front from the sounds of it.
I do not have the part numbers right now but can get them if needed.

Now that I think about it, the pilot bushing might have been something to do with the tranny? There's so many things goin on with my car it's hard to keep it all straight. There is some bushing recall issue with the front suspension though.

the pilot bushing has to do with the tranny...i am sure someone here can pull it up on the manual and post a pic of it...

the location is on the input shaft of the tranny...

Probably the stabilizer bar bushings. I had the 'squeak' going over speed bumps and onto my driveway. Rubber mount part number was 203-323-22-85 -- took care of the problem.....
