Repack Front Wheel Bearings
I had the steering click/clunk issue. It showed up the after a weekend at the track with new camber plates (which probably just hastened onset). My mechanic found a TSB for the X5 describing the same symptoms. He repacked both front wheel bearings per the TSB instructions to fix the issue.
I could easily demonstrate the issue by driving slowly (parking lot speed) and turning the wheel lock to lock. Alternatively, I could simply reverse direction and the front end would click/clunk. Never heard the click/clunk when driving at normal speed.
I have around 9000 miles on it when the symptoms first appeared.
