Aftermarket Springs and Voiding Warranty

[KC-01]

Hi, I\'m looking at getting after market (TEIN H Tech) springs for my car, but was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the dealer where the warranty on their car was voided because of this..I know a lot of Mazda dealerships will give us a hard time on this.. Are there any dealerships out their whom would not consider the warranty not void unless an issue was proven to be caused by the change in springs?

which dealerships will give you a hard time? Don\'t go there then.
If your A/C blows up they are not going to say it\'s becuase of your springs.............

H-techs are great springs! I have em and so far the dealership hasnt given me any hassels at all.

Make sure the shop installing the springs is reputable and knows what they\'re doing. If you come to the dealership complaining of a suspension noise they could point out that your car is dropped.

MOUNTAIN MAZDA wouldnt warranty my car (BROKEN ENGINE MOUNT) they also said there is a TSB on it but my car is a special car and uses different engine mounts not found in another Mazda3\'s :sarc

Anyhoo; went to my dealership where I bought the car and they fixed my broken engine mounts fully telling me \"WE DONT SEE HOW A LOWERED CAR COULD CAUSE YOUR ENGINE MOUNT TO CRACK\"



Down with Mountain Mazda and they\'re ugly butch dyke service bitches

Your springs had nothing to do with it.(Where do these people come up with these things?):sarc

My mount was leaking even before I dropped my car.

I also want to know. Recently I\'ve noticed that there is some oil stains right below my engine mount on the left side (if you\'re facing directly at the engine when you prop the hood). Is that mount fluid filled? When I poke my fingers into the mount, it feels completely empty.

Sounds like you got a leaky mount.

Ask Clement how his engine mount was.

The mount is filled with hydraulic oil.

Will do, thanks a lot! ;) I\'ll also mention it to my dealer the next time I get my oil change.
