any part of the suspension covered under warranty?

carzaddict · 08-07-2015, 10:45 AM

my car wheel alignment is a mess.......one wheel is completely out of whack, the mechanic told me its possible something is bent or broken, a control arm or something but wont know until they do an alignment.

i have a 90% feeling the answer is no.......but in the event that something needs fixing, is anything covered under warranty? or is it all "normal wear and tear"

thanks for your help guys

Bent or broken usually means a pothole (or other road hazard) damage, which is not covered by the car manufacturer (not a built default) but by the car insurance.

Depending on the part (and price of the replacement), I'd prefer to bite the bullet and pay for replacement with my own money than do an insurance claim...
