Brampton. Iwas going to take 410 checkin my blind spot and i turned around and boom hit the curb hard as rock.
I dunno if its covered by our warrantu coz i already lowered my car. So im thinking warranty is voided.

If you have stock springs throw em on the car man and the dealership wont know, what shock did you need?

This is true. Talk to Hydro about this... he blew his shocks once but I don't remember what he did. If you can't get a hold of him, go on TTS (Toronto Tuner Syndicate) and find him there

the situation isnt going to be the same. If you have lowering springs on your car and you kill your struts, if iffy if you will get warranty. The logic is, one strut goes, ok sure warranty is likely, all 4 or a set of two, its iffy.

This situation is different all together. This strut was struck and there is likely to be other damage associated with this type of impact. I would have your entire suspension system looked at before you go to the dealership. If your control arm is comprimised then this could get more expensive. For yours safety I would go to a cheaper shop and pay money for a full inspection.

You can look into replacing your front struts or go with a coil over option.

Just curious was this accident around 410 and queen, there is a nasty spot just before the 410 north ramp where i see cars smash their front or rear wheel, around a bus stop.

obviously not covered by warranty. warranty only covers something when it breaks down on its own... not when you run over a curb lol.
