I have a 2020 Roush Stage 3 and noticed some grease on the passenger side rear suspension and inside the wheel when I was washing my car today. I have an appointment with the dealer on October 8th to get the tune updated and I'll have them look at it then. My question is do you think they'll give me a hard time since I have a Steeda stop the hop ultimate handling kit? I don't see any way that they can say that stiffening the suspension will cause the CV boot to tear. Thoughts?

Why do you believe the CV boot is torn?

They shouldn't give you any trouble due to the suspension mods, but might not warranty it based on what they think caused it to tear. If it is due to the boot being defective, then they will warranty. If they think it got torn due to road debris or something, then they won't cover it under warranty.

Just a hunch based on research. I really didn't inspect it thoroughly. I will get a close look this weekend. There was a bot of buildup on the suspension when I installed the kit and even more when I cleaned the wheels.
