According to magnusson's law, we're free to "personalize" our cars any way we wish ... although, after speaking with the local service guy at my dealer , the mentality that usually accompanies Aftermarket parts and warranties goes as follows:
If an aftermarket part can in any way be pointed to as being a contributor to any damage that you want to claim warranty service on, it WILL be pointed to ... with no hesitation
something as simple as Lowering will theoretically be grounds for voiding any warranty work on
Suspension
Steering system
loose bolts
cracked windows
anything becoming loose
all because they can say that the rougher ride "contributed" to it
sucks, don't it ?
it sure put a damper on a lot of my plans ....
