Yea you guys are probably right. It is just annoying how the boots are intact, and yet the damn grease leaked out and the cv's are making noise. I thought the CV's fail when debris and moisture is able to get into the joints and grind it all up.
These two videos describe the noise I get one the vehicle is parked:
item 300402773538 on ebay - new steering rack bmw X5 noise - YouTube
e46 lower steering UJ knocking noise - YouTube
^^ sounds to me like u-joint/steering column. At this point what is not wrong with my front end.
