The cold could have made it worse I guess, maybe I bumped something in the snow with the wheel turned and tweaked something or I don't know...

Would you believe they want $630 to change the tranny fluid, rear diff fluid and flush/bleed the clutch!!
hmmm.......that's the first I've heard of cold weather whacking out that bearing .....

As far as hitting something, I reckon there are several things that would give way before a bearing on the steering column.

$630 for that work ...... yes, I would believe it ....... I just live with sticker shock these days .....

Well, I'm glad you're getting it fixed under your extended warranty.....
