So today I was driving around (not going to lie to you, autocross, which i know alone voids the warranty, but they dont need to know that...haha). Well think I broke a CV boot, when I drive straight I hear a clunking noise and also when I get on the breaks. Does this driving straight or turning, so here is the question I have...

One - Is it the CV Boot?

Two - Im on Tanabe DF210 springs does that viod warranty? If so I will put the stock ones back on.

Three - Should I put the stock ones back on just to be save?

HERE IS AN UPDATE...

Took it to the Dealership.

1. Wraped Rotor
2. CV Boot
3. Wheel Bearing

Those are the 3 things they are saying at the moment..

I think its number one. While driving there I didnt hear the noise till I hit the brakes. Then it will go away. When I brake with the E-Brake no noise.

Also when they called they said its not under warranty cause of the lowering kit and cause its to low to put on the lift. I replied back saying I read the warranty and it says Lowering Springs that are approved by Toyota do not void warranty. They replied back saying they will have the Service Manager look at it on Monday and call me up.

If it is indeed #1 and they will not cover, time to upgrade to some drilled and slotted rotors.

Good luck.

Why would issue 1 not be covered. Warranty states it will cover the front hub system, wouldnt that be in to that. If not they I will just get some crossed drilled and slotted ones.

if it's brake related they won't cover it.

unless its under like 30k miles I would imagine

dvsidboy

14,000 miles are on the car. its an 06

I think it should be covered then, because the only way you could have warped a rotor(under normal driving) would be to drive with the brake pedal pressed down all the time, and get it really hot, but I'd put it back to stock before driving it back to the dealer lol

dvsidboy

Im thinking Im going to just order cross drilled rotors.

brnttoast

Not true, if you were in a hard breaking instance such as to avoid an accident on the freeway, et: that would be sufficient to cause the warp. Extreme heat generation created in a short period of time causes warping. been there had it happen

dvsidboy

I did lock them up yesterday prior to autocross on the freeway to avoid being sideswiped. I told them that to, maybe that will get me a sympothy vote...haha

jwaj2002

maybe

the cheapest pair of cross drilled slotted brakes i could find were about $100 each.

To warp rotors at 14k is crazy hard unless you are hard on the brakes of which it sounds like is the case so warranty should NOT cover this unless you could prove a stuck caliper or something along those lines.
Just upgrade to better pads and rotors and abuse the crap out of them thereafter.
