I'm having search issues with my computers, so I can't link you threads but there is one on cv boot replacement in 30 minutes or less (which I have done myself), if that's what you need.
It's making a horrible noise!!! I just replaced the wheel bearings and it was good for about 2 weeks, then I started to hear a noise. I jacked the X5 up and took off the Passenger side tire to take a look... Grease everywhere and a giant slit in the boot! I want to Replace the CV Axles because it's actually less labor than just replacing boot. My X5 has about 150k miles. My passenger side is the only side making noise but I believe that when you change one side you should do the other because the same problem probably isn't far away!!!
