then I decided to just see what I could do with the car on the ground to avoid the ramps (which I've used plenty times with success, btw). I put the wheel in full lock left and right to get a better view of the endlinks... all seemed tight. thought maybe having the wheel turned removed slack so I put the wheel straight and everything still seems pretty snug although it's hard to snake my arm and a wrench around the wheel with the car on the ground.
ugh. 1600 miles on a car that hasn't been tracked and it's already forcing me to futz with stuff to fix it in my garage... not a fan of that and I've gotten rid of cars for less of a reason before.... I really want to track this thing but if parts are going to start falling off ... I just don't know.

I know it's very frustrating, dealing with this. This and the wiring harness issue but I think it's just bad luck as it seems like most owners didn't experience this. Those are just little hiccups and I didn't let those change my mind on this car.
I think your best bet is to find a proper way to jack the car, remove the wheels, apply some blue loctite and torque ( you may refer to my build thread for good seat of jack stands that work with ZL1addons jack points). If you don't have the tools you can always use your factory warranty at a reputable dealer service in your area. I've been really happy with the car at the track ever since I fixed those little things. Hopefully these will be the end of the problems
