New ball joint solved my shaking.

My X5 had a shaking when breaking hard and going through right curves at 45mph+.

New front LH ball joint fixed it. Waiting for an alignment now.

Did it make any noise when going thru the curves? I think I might be a candidate for and ball joint or bearing. Trying to figure it out still. But I am not getting any shaking.

No noise, just vibration.

My 540i vibrated AND made noise in curves and turned out to be wheel bearings.

Thanks that's what I am leaning towards. I replaced the fronts but not the rear bearings. And when I put my rear spacers on, then started the noise. Which if you put on spacers usually adds stress to the bearings.
