Default lowering springs.... warranty?

i put tein lowering springs in my car about 6 months ago and have since noticed a squeeking throw out bearing and rough drivability that i attribute to a possibly busted motor mount. i have the warranty on my car and would like to bring it in but i am hearing that some dealerships are very strict about non TRD modifications voiding the factory warranty. should i take the springs out when i bring it in or will they just void the warranty on my suspension?

The only way it would affect your warranty is if it was the cause of the problem. You might want to look at the warranty manual thing they should have given to you. That way if they do say anything you can bring that up.

This link will take you to a short explanation of the Magnuson-Moss Act. There is a link in there that will take you to the official wording of the act.

thats what i was hoping, just didnt want to bring the car in with the springs and have them be like "yea, way to go, you F'd it...", and i was actually unaware of that act, that explains why the tuner industry can actually exist. haha. thanks for the help
