I've just done both of my X5's (4.8is and 3.0D) front end with this kit

https://www.trodo.com/link-set-wheel...16-050-0106-hd
https://www.trodo.com/tie-rod-end-meyle-316-020-0005-hd

US $393.54 for the whole front end rebuilt apart from tie rod ends (US $41.55 x 2). Drives so much better.

All up US $476.64 plus shipping and I did all the work myself. You will need a ball joint separator tool but nothing else apart from the normal hand tools and a torque wrench.

If I lived in the US, the Meyle HD kit will replace your whole front and rear for US $1,000.84

That's all you need unless you want to change your shocks and struts too.
That kit is incomplete. The Meyle kit is better.
