Are wheel bearings covered under the drivetrain warranty
My car (03 GS430) still has the drivetrain warranty coverage on it. My front wheel bearings are starting to howl.
This is what Lexus warranty policy says regarding wheel bearings:
This is what they defined the powertrain
I am reading it to mean that they will only cover my front wheel bearings if my car is a front wheel drive car
So my question is, has anyone here ever had front wheel bearings covered under powertrain warranty for a rear wheel drive car?
Thanks

Driveshaft, axle, hub, bearings, seals and gaskets

Powertrain
The powertrain consists of all the components that create power and send it to the driving wheels, including the engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential and axle(s).

Well, I just called Lexus of South Atlanta, and the service guy said it was covered under the drivetrain warranty. He even put me on hold to verify it. I hope they don't flip the script when I get there next week.
Spike, did you replace your out of your pocket while the car was under drivetrain warranty? If so, that stinks
