A noisy joint

I OWN a 2002 Hyundai Elantra, still under warranty, which has done nearly 90,000km. I have noticed an occasional noise from the drive line, and my mechanic says a CV joint needs attention. Can I expect the dealer to fix this under warranty?

IT SHOULD certainly be repaired under warranty, unless it has been damaged in the course of driving. Ask your Hyundai dealer to inspect the joint and replace it as needed. If he doesn't agree, go direct to Hyundai. You may face a battle if you have had your car serviced elsewhere. Hyundai may claim it hasn't been properly serviced, but if you believe it has, stand your ground.
