With those mods, you have no business making a warranty claim. however, that's not the issue- your car was just in an accident, so almost certainly the problem was caused by that. That means you should have the dealer or a shop find the problem, then take it up with your insurance company.

Well who did you pay to do the repairs? You might have a shop that did not work on the car to repair the accident find the problem, then take the car back to the original repair shop and make them fix the problem. NO WARRANTY CLAIM. Your accident was not caused by a manufacturer defect and Subaru should not pay the bill.
