Please help. Loud clunk

Hello all.

I replace the whole front suspension components on my x5 this weekend. I got it aligned and installed new tires. Drives great now. It's amazing what new bushings can do. Anyways here's the problem. When I'm driving randomly I hear a clunking noise on the drivers side front tire. At first I thought it was only over pot holes but no. It's very random. I rechecked all my connections, bolts etc. I lubed the bushings and nothing helps. It's almost the sound of the cv axle pop without turning. When I was working on it though I did say to myself that I was moving that cv joint at really radical angles and I needed to be careful. The axles look great but that doesn't mean I didn't screw it up. What else could it be? I can't seem to think it's the transfer case because it was fine the day before.

It's an 01 4.4 sport with 208k. I doubt those axles have been replaced.


Please help
