Still doesn't add up. Where are you seeing corrosion? The 1LE has aluminum brake hats on the front that are anodized and the wheels are aluminum. There should be no corrosion between the mating surfaces. Mating surfaces (front and rear) have to be spotless of grease and lug nuts torqued to 140lbft. As mentioned, a quick clean up on mine did not eliminate the clicking. I've advised others to do the same and it's eliminated the clicking for them. I'm now at 12,000+ miles and over 2 years since doing this myself, with zero clicking.
