If by "they" you mean the dealer of course they will fix it.

It is doubtful they will do it under warranty since you have modded it, if that is what you are asking...

I think they will do it under warranty... its not a big job they just apply some lube... won't cost much not under warranty either i believe.

Hopefully so; depends on the dealer and if you have any kind of relationship with them...

The dealer has to prove your mod caused the problem. This may require assistance from your local judiciary. That said, lowering spring directly affects the axle u-joint angle and could be argued as the cause of the clicking noise.

OP the dealership can straight out deny you because of the lowering springs would affect the angle of the axles. But some advisors are very understanding and laid back. Where you in LA if you don't mind me asking?
