Oh, I had a local performance shop (I trust) perform the wiggle test about 5 years ago (when I first learned about it) and at that time it was well within spec. Probably 5K since then.

It probably won't be the last we hear either. If the issue is still happening, then the information is still relevant. I expect the C7 won't have this same problem.
