Wheel bearing warranty coverage vs Swift springs

I have had some noise up front for a while now, and I am assuming it's a bad wheel bearing. Very recently I dropped my car on swift springs.

the noise was there prior to the swifts being installed.

Do you think the dealer with give me lip and possibly deny warranty coverage because of the swifts?

Anyone else experience this issue ?

thanks,

No one has come across having some warranty work done on a car with lowering springs?

You guys think the dealer will say the wheel bearings failed because of the lowering springs?

It's one of those items that could vary from dealer to dealer. If you go to a dealer often for service items (not warranty issues) you may be more likely to have them work with you. If you don't have any history w/ the dealer they may try to find a way around honoring the warranty repair.
All you can do is give it a shot & try another dealer if you have more than one nearby and didn't have luck w/ the first.

my cv boots were torn due to the install of my swift springs and my dealer warrantied it no problem. They are very mod friendly though. I have a little noise up front and am thinking it maybe wheel bearing as well now that I am at 64k miles.
