Tein and tie rod problem, Urgent
Alright, I just ran into a huge problem.
I have Tein SS on my car which was making popping noises on the passenger front side for quite a while. My buddy and I tried everything to get rid of it but it wouldn't go away. I took it in to Crown alignment today, and they said the tie rod nut came loose and fell off, damaging the taper on the tein shock that connects it to the tie rod end. They're working on it right now but is there anything I can do about this if they can't fix it? I got the Teins at Phantom, would this be covered under warranty, or would I have to go to JRP and send the shock directly to Tein to be fixed? Any help is good help right now, this is frustrating as hell.
Thanks Guys

Update: Crown was able to bolt in the tie rod, they told me to come back in 4 weeks to check on it. I took it to Honda today to see if there were any other problems, they told me the springs weren't tight enough. I don't understand how to tighten them up, there's 6 threads left any advice?

there is a common problem when lowering the newer civics with the mcpherson strut design in the front. it causes the tie rods to be angled at an awkward angle and damaging them. ive heard of some ppl using rsx tie rods because they are beefier.
