You will need to "re-align" your car after the drop.

In terms of axels or bearings I don't think you have much to worry about. It tends to hurt the life of dampeners if anything. And of course the drop will effect your suspension so depending on the dealership it can void things like dampeners. It comes down to the dealership in terms of how picky they are going to be in regards to the warranty.
