If your alignment is out from lowering and your tires get messed up they wont replace them for you, or fix the alignment.

Depends on the dealership.

I wouldnt void warretny for a lowered car. I dont for Intakes or exhaust (depends on if they are done right, and what is wrong with the car)

If you have some half ass ghetto fab intake on the car, and no inner fender well, and your engine is locked after a rain storm, hell no i am not covering that under warrenty.

but if you have a intake, that is done right, and you have some valve noise, ya, ill cover that under warrenty.

Some other techs in my shop woulnt even touch a car with an air filter.

just depends on the situation and the tech.

BMW is the only company I know that warranties tires.

Really? My old Ford dealer covered my tires for the first 36000 miles, if I rotated them at the reccomended time. And I had to have them rotated at the dealership.

It's still a warranty, just not through Nissan. My tires on mine are under a warranty as well from the dealership but it's useable ANYWHERE, just show them the paper and it's good, I've had to use it 2wice alreadyonce for glass in the tire and once for a nail in the tire, it's just basic road hazard warranty though.

Ok so it al depends on the service advisor.

If you lower the car, that obviously throws off the camber a little, has anyone had eccesive wear on their tires since they lowered theirs?

jonv0305 · 2008-09-16 16:09:14

I don't expect them to replace the tires so I don't care. I just don't wanna void my warranty because I wanna lower it Now! Nissan is pretty strict with their warranties

If a suspension component breaks, they could blame it on lowering the vehicle. But if you motor blows, no... So I guess it depends on what piece of the car you plan on breaking "D

That's understandable but how many times have you heard of suspension breaking due to lowering? I think you would have to lower it quite a bit for that to be the case, no?

not exactly. putting lowering springs on stock struts is really asking when will they blow not if. Who knows they might last a long time but those springs will create a lot more stress on your struts/shocks
