After searching and reading countless threads, I've concluded that my car's suspension can be attributed to the worn steering stop caps, and something wrong with the transverse link. I plan to get it fixed at the stealership (without the FSTB of course) since my warranty ends this June, but will the preceding be covered?

P.S. If they blame my front suspension clunk/rattle sound to something like my intake, I am so going my SA.

You're still under 4 yrs 60k miles, right?

If so, then there's no reason why it wouldn't be.

Hell, I had an OEM rear strut replaced once after they knew I'd had lowering springs (was back to stock suspension at that point....long ago).

Warranty ends in June...and I am in Indiana so I don't know how good the dealership is. And I only have 17,5xx miles

Then it'll really depend on the dealership. But technically, you should be covered under your warranty.

I've been blessed with an incredible dealership here in Knoxville. I wish I could take them wherever I move. The other day they fixed something for me and washed and cleaned the car and didn't charge me a dime...and I've been well out of my warranty for a very long time.

And 17k miles? Did a grandma drive your car before you got it?


I got mine new almost 4 years ago and I *just* crossed 90k. Whew.



P.S. If the dealership does give you flack or says they can't reproduce...politely ask for a ride-along with the Service Manager so you can demonstrate it.

Supposedly some old Japanese guy, and he seemed single as I had perfect leather seats except the driver's.

Im at 43k on the clock on my '02 Max... I was told that I need new rear shocks and some front suspension work... Should these be covered under warranty??

wait.....blown suspension due to worn steering stop caps??? dude have u seen what those are? they are 2mm thin plastic covers, that re simply there to minimize noise when wheel turned all the way to either side. this is a load of cpar they told u!!! and the clunk u describe is the classic bad strut mount.

Blown suspension? On whose car?

Anyways, dealer called me back today, said my front "drop links" needed to be replaced, under warranty. And that one of my steering bump stops was missing, and the other cracked in half ....and they are charging $16 to get it fixed. I know those plastic things cost like $1, but I'll just consider the $16 as a three day rental fee for their 06 G35x .
