I noticed your 2005 is 3.0d. Is that an M57 Diesel?
It can be hard to tell and they have been known to pop out - the spring clip that should hold the axle in the diff can fail to do so - not common but it has happened, often not long after an axle replacement.

Yep, my '05 3.0D is the second-generation M57, the M57TU or more correctly, the M57D30TÜ. 160kW and 500Nm.
