C63 Owners with H&R springs
So i fitted H&R springs approx 2000kms ago. And my drivers side sway bar ball joint broke/ busted. Merc claim the stress from lowering the vehicle .75in has caused this. Who else has fitted these springs? have you had any problems? were do i stand?
thanks

Screw the dealer...go to corporate...corporate has to PROVE that the springs did the damage or replace it under warranty. Your choice of how much trouble you want to go through versus just pay. But letting the dealer manhandle you like that is going to set a precedent I would think for denying future warranty repairs.

If it's a cheap fix then just pay a bit and keep them happy. It's not worth pissing off your dealer over a few bucks, IMO. You want to keep a happy relationship with them. Perhaps have a *nice* conversation with the service advisor or manager first.
If you don't want to pay for it, call the dealer first and corporate second and start yamering on about the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act ( do a bit of research first ) that protects owners from situations like this. As another poster mentioned they are required to show that the aftermarket part was the cause of the damage.
Good Luck!

well it was something with the way the sway bar link that broke. The ride was not really affected, just heard some knocking noise. $280 to fix, i didnt bother trying to put it through warranty.,
