Alan,
The S.E.M.A. site explains it best. Warranties cannot be conditioned on
the use of parts which are identified by name, brand, etc. So, since I
don't happen to like the Chrysler sway bars and shocks on my vehicle, I
decide to install Hotchkis gear. The dealer cannot refuse me service now
that I another manufacturer's equipment installed. The law doesn't
directly say after market.
Keep in mind my dealer took it a step further and voided my ENTIRE
warranty(both factory extended service), not just the suspension parts
at issue.
