No it wont. Nothing EVER voids a warranty. What CAN void a warranty is if somehow the aftermarket part causes something to break.
You are protected under the Magnuson Act for suchs things. I dont have a link, but will look later.

They must prove what caused the break and then determine if you are at fault. But an axleback has VERY LITTLE chance of breaking anything. other than MAYBE burning the bumper. That wont be covered under warranty.

Default Warranty act

Here it is.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

This federal law regulates warranties for the protection of consumers. The essence of the law concerning aftermarket auto parts is that a vehicle manufacturer may not condition a written or implied warranty on the consumers using parts or services which are identified by brand, trade, or corporate name (such as the vehicle maker's brand) unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. The law means that the use of an aftermarket part alone is not cause for denying the warranty. However, the law's protection does not extend to aftermarket parts in situations where such parts actually caused the damage being claimed under the warranty. Further, consumers are advised to be aware of any specific terms or conditions stated in the warranty which may result in its being voided. The law states in relevant part:

“No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name...” (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)).
