I think it is about 56K miles... The dealership was right in letting you know that it would not be covered and would not do a free inspection... Per Chrysler around 99?? If you visually see something that could have caused the problem (modification) the owner is responsible for all work up to the point it is determined if the problem is a defect... if it is a defect they will pick up the bill... If not and you were not notified then the dealership is to pick up the bill and if you were notified you are to pay. I have noticed a lot of similar threads is this because of the angles from lifts and leveling kits possibly??
