Default suspension?

Only have 7500 miles on my 07 gt and wondering if there is a suspension warranty or something? Want some new control arms, but just want to make sure it won't void some warranty right now...

You only void the warranty on the part you alter or, damage done to another part in result of your modification.

so i'd just void the control arm part of the warranty??? thought that if you changed one part of something that was covered by warranty, you totally blew the whole thing?

If your dealer is an ***, changing those will void a warranty on a bunch of other suspension parts.

Which dealers are notasses?
My guess is most dealers will try to screw you over.
The dude at Richmond Ford told me if I lowered my car it would just give Ford an excuse to deny any claim, of course he may just be trying to scare me into having them do the work.
There are those that will scream "It's against the law", but the law is on the side of the dealer.
They just have to deny a claim and then it is up to you to take them to court and force them to prove your aftermarket part didn't hose things up.
That cost money and some people will say screw it, and that is what they are counting on.

I have almost come to the conclusion of f*ck the waranty,I want to have fun with my car.
Though I am considering the FRPP handling pack, that way no way they can claim my parts busted ****.

You're better off just modding and forgetting about the warranty. Its such a short warranty that when it passes you'll regret not having modded your car earlier.
