whats up guys. happy labor day. was washing my car last week and when i was at the front of the car, i noticed the fender and license plate area as really squeaky and almost loose feeling when going over it with my wash mitt. just seemed to be a bit more play than normal.

was wondering if this was normal with your cars (maybe one or two of you can run out and push in your front a little to see if it squeaks too) or if something came unlodged. i do have a front lip spoiler attached and has rubbed sort of hard on the ground once or twice when leaving/entering a driveway or lot.

My car is a 2022 M240ix with 4,100 miles, I checked and found nothing squeaking.

I don't know if you have the ZTK package, but if you do, there's a long, low mounted oil cooler at the front of the underside of the car. It's absolutely exposed and unprotected.

I have the ZTK and made light contact with a parking block, but it was enough to create a leak.

The oil cooler is a $645 item and not very hard to change loss of the oil could potentially lead to catastrophic engine failure.

I'm replacing the damaged oil cooler myself and adding a Turner Motorsports aluminum skid plate, which is very HD and will pretty much prevent any damage to the oil cooler short of a collision.

i do not have the ztk package, mainly to avoid extra potential headaches like that lol.
