Default Suspension TSB Question

I think I might have the strut popping TSB on my car, but I have tokico shocks/struts installed along with eibach pro kit springs. Will ford service even bother helping me with all this installed and tell me they cant help since I have after market parts? I live in the bay area, so if anyone knows any Ford dealers around here that don't care let me know, since I know different dealers have different policys sometimes.

Since you modified the suspension,I doubt the dealer will honor the TSB. Lowered mine as well , but I completely rebuilt the front struts with 06 Struts,Top Bearing Plate and bottom insulator. Ordered all the parts from the TSB. From what I saw in the TSB the bottom insulator is the key to the noise. If the dealer doesn't cover the TSB order the parts yourself and replace the top bearing plate and insulator. That should take care of the noise.

What is the benefit to replacing the stock struts?

Optimize for performance driving at a slighly less comfortable ride. Plus if you buy a set that comes with different springs they will be better matched for the new set up.
