2001 X5 3.0 Automatic with 174,000 miles.
I plan on keeping it for quite a while.
I don't believe anything has been done previously. Definitely not since I bought it at 85000 miles.
Camber is excessive and toe out is excessive especially on the left rear.
There seems to be a slow leak down on the air spring on the right rear.
The arm that controls the toe out on the left has a torn boot.
I'm no stranger to doing this type of project but wanted some perspective on whether to just replace a couple parts or acquire a kit of some sort.
Any thoughts?

With that much mileage and your symptoms you need to do the entire rear suspension. Ball joints, control arms, control links and swing arm bushings. You may be due for shocks too.
