Im sure the dealer can tell when springs/shocks are swapped. So if they see that the stock springs were swapped before then im sure they wont cover you.


Also since when did acura cover wear and tear items like shocks?

If it's under warranty, they'll cover it.

It still doesn't make lying to the dealer right though.

so wait, they will cover shocks but wont cover batterys?

My dads battery went dead on his RL and they made us pay half of the cost. Bastards.

Shocks should be a wear and tear item. Just like a spring or a battery.

So I don't see why Acura would cover this.
