Trying to replace front struts under warranty BUT.....

Hey guys, I think my front struts are bad on my 04 maxima (a very common problem that I know many of you are familiar with ). I am going to be taking it to the dealership Friday and this would be my 3rd replacement for the front struts. I have the nissan extended warranty and I have a question for those of you who have a Front Strut Tower Bar installed. Have any of you guys needed to get struts replaced under warranty with your Tower Bar installed? Did the dealership tell you that they wouldnt cover it because you modified the suspension by adding the tower bar? The last time my dealership replaced the struts under warranty, my strut bar was installed and they replaced the struts with no problem but I am wondering if they are going to give me a hard time this time around. I dont feel like taking it off for the repair and then putting it back on so I thought Id just get some feedback from you guys... thanks

Strut tower has nothing to do with the failing struts. Its best to replace with aftermarket struts

What would it take to take it off, 15 minutes??? If you're concerned just remove it ahead of time. Better then having a fight with them over warranttee void...

I think my struts went a long time ago and I don't car unless it leans to the side. I'm not looking for a luxury ride anyway.
