Are rear shocks covered under standard warranty?

i keep hearing squeeking coming from my rear driver side. it started lightly but now i can hear it more often. im at around 25k miles
are they covered under the standard warranty?
would my aftermarket wheels be a problem?

The stock shocks are horrible on our cars. Unless they were leaking oil I doubt they would be covered. I recommend KYB GR-2 shocks. You can find them for around $21ea on amazon.

The creaking you're hearing might actually be the B-pillar creak the xB2 is known to make.

OP, unless its a factory defect the shocks are wear and tear. Upgrade to trd or tokico shocks.

Sorry, bad example. I'm on air and I went with shock made for a 2000 Sienna because they are shorter.

To make them fit I had to make these spacer bushings.

For some reason the link doesn't seem to be working, so cut & paste.
