Was the front thrust arm bushings and the left tie rod replaced under warranty or are you paying?
Definitely find another dealer to work on your X.
Hunting expedition is what I would call it.
They may be good at giving you loaner and doing warranty stuff but being done right the first time also counts.

everything was paid under warranty, Warranty Direct...

again, i tried 5 or 6 X5s and they all have that sound, worse than mine... and that convinced me that its normal somehow... thats why i need more input from you guys... also, the supervisor gave me his business card, just in case i would bring back my X, so he would see to it that my X will taken care of... he even hooked me up with a can of silicone spray...

My X drives better now except for that sound when its parked.

Just wanted to add I can only hear mine when rocking the wheel back and forth with the car off. Once running there is nothing but the movement and PS noise.

If I wiggle my steering wheel on my 4.6is, I get a little play and a clicking noise...but I dont think this is the same thing. However, on occasion, I do get a judder when turning the wheels when the car is parked or when going from reverse to drive

There was no noise, nothing more than the usual sound of the wheels turning.
