As long as the part did not directly cause the problem, then the warranty should be fine. All of the contact points are the same as the factory rod, it is just a heavier spring as far as the pistol is concerned. But you can ask Springfield to make sure of what you are doing.
I can make a tungsten rod, but they are material and labor intensive so I am charging $60. I need to make one for myself and try it!

"What aftermarket guide rod?"

"I swear, i dont even know how to take apart my gun, let alone switch this thing you call a guide rod"

For real, send in your gun in with the stock rod, and it wont even be a issue.
