the warranty. Didn't see the leak until I changed the bar. Do I need to change it back?

it will only void the warranty if they can prove that the bar caused the failure
I asked about my swaybars at the dealer before I put mine on, they almost laughed at the question, but my service tech is pretty mod friendly. I'm guessing no, but if you're really worried about it, switch back to stock before taking the car in. but if anything, I would think that a stiffer bar would actually help in preventing a diff leak from occuring, since the axles will be moving less.

Very unlikely to void. If you were having trouble with the sway bar links or control arms......
That would be a different matter.
The H-sports didn't affect warranty coverage on my recent wheel bearing and steering rack trouble.

my local dealer in louisville, ky

Sway Bar question: Has anyone had warranty issues due to an aftermarket swaybar? Had anything break?
