If this mechanical problem is a result of your crash, the warranty will not cover it. That was the responsibility of your insurance company to have the shop fix it correctly.

If i were you, I would bring the car back to stock, then take it to the dealer. Its gonna be a pain to uninstall all that and then re-install it, but it's worth it if you can get it fixed for free. good luck man

First off, that's a poor suggestion and the dealer will be able to tell the car was in a wreck and had been repaired. Secondly, my advice is never try to commit fraud by submitting work for warranty repairs if the damage was caused by your own doing. This is what screws it up for the rest of us trying to obtain legitimate warranty repairs.

wingless is right.....this damage isnt warranty, and the dealer tech will spot the crash damage right away.
