not sure, but either your upper control arm need to be replaced or lower ball joint as that is what most owners have replaced to correct this.

well ,i went to the dealer and ask them about this problem too,
the first think he asked, did the shop that did my alignment used "sand bags"?
i said no,because i called back firestone and asked,and the guy from bmw said that maybe where the problem is!,you put the sand bags and the car gets more heavier ,and readings will come more accurate !,
and about the ball joint and rear upper....
before i went to both shops i raise my x5 up,and shake every part in the suspension to make sure i dont have any play,and also moved the wheel up/down right/left,, also i did with the x5 down and the ground,and i did not notice any play at all!...
does anyone knows how to check a shock? like if how to tell if is bad?
i am just saying,i hear no noise!no leaks,or other things but if is bad on the side maybe it has to do with alignment ? also?
thank you,
