Don't go to a dealership. Find a reliable, trusted, and credible mechanic. The pics clearly say its your bushing. Your butt and your ears will tell you if there's a driveshaft issue. When bushings fail, dealers will replace the entire assembly vs just the bushing. It is quick and heftier on the cash register.

Good to know!

Thanks - I feel like I’m being had even though it’s a buddy of mine. Seems like it’s more of the protocol - like you said - when bushing goes - they want to replace it all - even if it’s ok.

If warranty doesn’t cover it fully - I’ll be passing on it. Like I said - car drives perfect 👌
