RockWall wrote:Took the service manager for a lap around the block, he confirmed that Yes its the shaft issue and they will order a new replacement shaft Assy immediately. He explained in detail what they have found with the faulty shafts and really thinks that they shouldn't have removed the grease nipple on the new models. Great service and back up from this local dealer.

I'd like to be able to replicate it with the service guy sitting beside me in the vehicle so I can avoid half a dozen trips back to the dealer.
