Let's all try to be honest here. I've heard of guys putting things back to stock to collect on warranty, but I hope no one here would be that dishonest. Be responsible for your actions.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Although I hardly doubt your suspension upgrades/mods killed your balljoints, there's enough parts there that you put on that will roadblock any warranty claim. And from a business point of view (assuming you owned Toyota), would you cover that part yourself? Because someone has to pay that mechanic the 2-3 hours of work and the price of the part... an easy $200-$300 at cost. :\
