That was my thinking. If it is hub slippage (is everyone confident of that?), then I'm not going to live with this thing. I've got to learn a bit more about the components on the front suspension. I tolerated it for probably about 500 miles before going for the first fix, and now it's been doing it for another 100 or so. Perhaps I should just drive until a wheel falls off?

This shows up in the M5 forums too, so it's nonsense that this can't be resolved. It sounds like some have had a permanent (?) fix, but my first try was not successful. I want to figure this out. Mine sounds pretty bad, lots of clicks both directions...
