Warranty fixes for modified cars?

Well basically my left control arm bushing or whatever is called seems like its broken or something. Everytime I hit a bump I hear a loud clunk and it feels like the suspension is gonna snap off and everytime I turn the wheel all the way. I want to bring it into warranty but my car is on Megan Coilovers atm and I don't have my stock suspension. Will acura dealers warranty fix my problem? Which ones in SoCal?


Just a random updates for you guys....

My stock suspension is currently in the hands of JIC and they are producing new coilovers for the 3rd gen TL. They said they were gonna have it ready in a few months. I'll try to get an update about it if you guys are interested.

I think it depends, I know my Acura shop didn't care, but I have heard of some that will not work on it.

IE: If something is wrong with your suspension, but you lowered the car, they will not work on it. So I guess if you modified something, and the modifing caused the problem is what I am trying to say.

You have aftermarket suspension with a control arm bushing failure, take a wild guess what Acura is going to say

Yeah that's what I thought too. Just trying to find some luck before I fix it myself or wait to get my stock suspension back.

I'd put the stock suspension back in and go to the dealer.

I wouldn't waste my time and their time trying to get that warrantied.
