my passenger side wheel bearing is bad...and is covered by my warranty but has anybody ever had an issue going in with wheels other then OEM and had dealer reject a claim should they...

the same with having an intake should that be grounds to reject a warranty claim if i took it in for them to have a look at some rough shifting ive been having at low rpm's .. just looking for any past experience ..

They would have to prove that part caused the problem - if your worried put the old wheels back on and its their problem. I wouldnt bother with the intake though your good.

Read up on the Magnusson-Moss Act. They have the prove that your part caused the problem. If you put an exhaust on, and your wheel bearing went bad, it would be ok. If you put on headers, and your stock exhaust blew, they probably wouldn't cover it.

Yep.
IPD had 19" wheels on their hot 04 wagon, it needed a wheel bearing (out of town). A scumbag dealer charged them $700 for one back in 04 sometime.
Car has about 30K on it and IN warranty
