Rear Axle carrier bushes, part of the suspension?

[zetecor]

Hi,

I have just had Warranty Direct reject my claim for rear axle carrier bushes as 'they are not part of the suspension'

My warranty states clearly 'suspension bushes' and my dealer even described them as rear suspension bushes but they are wriggling out of it.

Was I being too optimistic or am I having the wool pulled over my eyes?

Any thoughts or comments.
