Steering rack & bushes !!!!!

[YOU LOSE]

My car went into Mazda today because of a knock in the front that Rino noticed when he was up here . A KLUNK while turning the steering wheel at close to or at stationary . End result mazda are putting a complete new steering rack in under waranty ,bushes gone . My concern is the Mazda mechanics felt that the car having been lowered with coil-overs could have caused the problem is that possible ??????

No it shouldn't, but at the end of the day of course the manufacturer is going to say somthing other than there workmanship is to blame, human/business nature
