Pulled to the side and ate lunch with the family. Started driving up more and the noise slowly crept back, made a sharp left turn while on a slight incline and the noise was back like before.

If I let the X5 sit for a day or two it's fine but now seems incline and sharper turns brings it back.

Anyone thinking it could be the rear shaft U-Joint and center bearing support that was needing replacement this whole time?

I am close to giving up on this car now with how much I've put into it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Get on the rear tire and grab the roof rails and rock the shit outa her. See if you can hear the noise. Make sure there is a extra set of ears around.

I don't think it's a suspension issue but a drive train one. That said that can be a promising test to root out uglies.
