Check if your wheel nuts are tightened.
(This is no joke!!!)
It ruined my holiday last summer, I thougt I had a worn drive shaft.

My BX GTi suffered from this - it was due to wear in the lower suspension arm bearings where the arm
is attached to the sub frame. Given that the XM front suspension is BX derived, it might be worth
investigating. Cheers!
